Chennai, 28th May 2025: Antara Senior Care, India’s leading provider of holistic senior-care solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Max India Limited, has recently launched the first of its Care Homes in Chennai. The ~30,000 sq. ft., 43-bed facility on East Coast Road (ECR) addresses the growing demand for specialized senior care. It offers assisted living for seniors who need support with daily activities, as well as rehabilitative and recovery services for those recuperating after major health events.
Chennai is one of India’s leading medical tourism hubs. It draws a significant number of domestic medical tourists with its robust medical infrastructure, and attracts a large number of international patients, many among them seniors. However, despite the strong medical set-up, the infrastructure that aids structured recovery and rehabilitation remains underdeveloped. Additionally, Chennai has a growing population of senior citizens underlining the urgent need to create systems that support those without relevant care backup at home to regain health with ease and dignity.
Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, “With the launch of our new Antara Care Home on the East Coast Road, we are excited to bring to Chennai a facility that is built to deliver the highest standard of rehabilitative and recuperative care to seniors, as well as assisted living services for those requiring long-term support. Antara’s commitment to high-quality clinical governance in coordination with the treating doctor, and professional caregiving is directed to help residents get the support needed to tide over health setbacks, even when they live independently. For those needing ongoing assistance with daily activities, our assisted living solutions provide a secure, dignified environment with 24/7 professional care. We aim to provide seniors and their children a stress-free recovery experience and quality assisted living option in an environment built around their needs.”
The Antara Care Home on ECR is a fully wheelchair accessible three-floor facility for short- and long-term assisted living needs of seniors. In addition to 24/7 medical support, specially trained nurses and primary healthcare support, it offers nutritionally assisted meals, diagnostic support, in-house physiotherapy, and curated engagement calendars for mental and emotional well-being. The Care Home is also equipped with hospital beds to accommodate demanding recovery needs.
Ishaan Khanna said, “Antara has seen significant demand for senior care products and services in South India, particularly in Chennai, which has a strong healthcare ecosystem and growing awareness of the importance of specialized aging-related services. This Care Home is a step towards expanding Antara’s offerings to a wider audience in southern India, complementing its existing network of facilities and services across multiple locations.”
Antara Care Homes is a part of Antara Assisted Care Services, which includes assisted living, transition care, memory care, and care at home, delivered through premium infrastructure and a professionally trained care-giving team operating under standardized protocols. The upcoming Antara Care Home in Chennai will be the sixth in India after five centersacross Noida, Gurugram, and Bangalore. This expansion reflects Antara’s growing presence in the National Capital Region and beyond as it transforms into a pan-India assisted living and transition care player. In addition to these residential facilities, Antara’s Care at Home services isavailable in several southern cities, including Chennai and Bangalore.
With India’s senior population expected to reach ~350 million by 2050–20% of the total projected population as per a JLL-ASLI 2024 report–Antara Senior Care stands dedicated to expanding its network across the country to meet the growing demand for reliable and compassionate senior care services.
