In Today's age, as children move to different cities for better
jobs or higher education, parents are left back in the home to
take care of themselves. As of today, 1 out of every 5 parents in
India live alone.
Almost 80% of all senior citizens in India
feel isolated and depressed in some phase of their life after 50.
Research shows that chronic loneliness can impact older adults’
memory, physical well-being, mental health, and life
expectancy.
They also need assistance in small chores for
which they have to rely on strangers, and most of the times, stay
away from the unknown. Technology also acts as a deterrant as they
are not abreast with the new platforms. Instead of making their
lives easier, it becomes an additional hassle to use technology.
They choose to live a life of ignorance not because they want to,
but they have to.
EvrCare intends to solve these issues which
have long been faced by senior citizens but has not been addressed
yet. Unlike other ElderCare companies, EvrCare focuses on the
mental and social well-being of Senior Citizens. HealthCare is an
essential but complementary aspect of our services.
"Intergenerational
Homesharing" is the first product in a range of services where we
intend to combat the loneliness of Senior citizens by providing
them with young verified individuals who not only stay with them,
but also help out in their household chores while they stay at
their home.
