What is senior living?

Senior living means a residential community designed for older adults, where each person or couple has their own private home and shares a community around them. Depending on the project, that can include wellness spaces, gardens, recreation, activities and everyday services close by. The idea is to keep your independence while making daily life easier and less lonely.

How is it different from an old age home?

In an old age home, residents usually share a facility and follow its routine. In senior living, you live in your own apartment and decide your own day. The community adds company, activities and a safer, easier environment, but it does not run your life. Many families find this a better fit for parents who are active and want to stay independent.

One honest note: most senior living projects are residential communities, not hospitals. The level of medical or care support differs from project to project, so always ask exactly what is available and what is not.

Who is senior living a good fit for?

It tends to suit people who want a home of their own, but also want company, activities and a setup designed for comfort. It can suit couples, people living alone, and families who live in another city and want their parents to have a community nearby. It may not be the right choice for someone who needs round-the-clock medical care, and in that case a care-focused facility is worth looking at.

What does it cost in Gurgaon?

On 100acress, 11 senior living projects in Gurgaon are listed, with prices from ₹0.96 Cr to ₹14 Cr*. That is a wide range, so it helps to think in bands:

• Starting under ₹2 Cr: six projects are in this range, including WAL Serenia, JMS Silver Living, Advik by ROF, ArtTech The Story House, Aura The Aerth and Silverglades The Melia. So senior living under 2 crore in Gurgaon is a realistic search.
• Premium: projects such as DLF The Aureva sit at the top of the range, with prices around ₹11.54 Cr to ₹14 Cr.
• In between: Antara Senior Living (Estate 361 and Estate 360), Lamose Gratitude 84 and Pioneer Advait complete the list.

Prices are indicative, and what is included in the price, such as services, club access and maintenance, differs by project.

Where are senior living projects in Gurgaon?

The projects are spread across several parts of the city: the Dwarka Expressway, New Gurgaon, Sohna, Golf Course Extension Road and Southern Peripheral Road. Location matters more for seniors than for most buyers. Think about the distance from family, from a good hospital and from everyday shopping, and about how easy it is for relatives to visit.

What to look for when you compare projects

• Easy movement. Lifts, wide corridors and layouts that make daily life simple.
• Wellness and recreation. Spaces for walking, yoga, social activities and quiet time.
• Medical and emergency help. What is available on site, and how close is the nearest hospital?
• Services. What is actually promised in writing, such as housekeeping, meals, security or transport?
• Community. Who else lives there, and what is the atmosphere like when you visit?
• Price, possession and RERA. Check the total cost, the possession date and the RERA registration on the official website.

Compare two or three projects side by side, and visit with your parents if you can. They will notice things you won't.

Questions to ask before you book

1. Which services are included in the price, and which cost extra?
2. What happens if my parent needs medical help at night?
3. What are the maintenance charges, and can they change?
4. Is there a minimum age to buy or live here?
5. What are the exit or resale terms if our plans change?

Get the answers in writing, and take independent legal advice before you sign.
