Geri Care Inaugurates Its 11th Facility in India with New Clinic & Skilled Nursing Centre in Adyar

The facility was inaugurated by renowned Tamil orator, writer and television personality Smt. Bharathy Bhaskar, in the presence of Guests of Honour Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, widely regarded as the Father of Geriatric Medicine in India, and Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished Neurologist and Founder of AVS Brain Charitable Trust.

Located at Indira Nagar, 4th Main Road, Adyar, the centre offers a comprehensive range of services including a 50+ state of the art bedded Skilled Nursing Facility- Senior Citizens Clinic, Assisted Living support, Memory Clinic, Post-Surgery Care, Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation, Post-Hospitalisation Care, Respite Care, and Palliative Care — enabling seniors and families to access coordinated care across recovery, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh, Founder & Managing Director, Geri Care, said: “Adyar holds a very special place in Geri Care’s journey — it is where our medical practice began and where the idea of building a dedicated geriatric ecosystem first took root. With this new Clinic and Skilled Nursing Facility, we are bringing together medical expertise, nursing care, rehabilitation and emotional support under one roof. Our goal is simple: to help elders age with dignity, comfort, and continuity of care, while giving families confidence and peace of mind.”

Renowned Tamil Orator, Writer and TV personality, Smt. Bharathy Bhaskar, Chief Guest at the inauguration, said, “It is deeply meaningful for me to inaugurate Geri Care’s Skilled Nursing Facility and Clinic at Adyar. Having trusted Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh with my father’s care, I have seen firsthand his empathy and clinical excellence. As our population ages, specialised geriatric care is no longer optional — it is essential. Geri Care beautifully balances advanced medical capability with deep human compassion, reminding us that ageing deserves dignity, comfort, and respect.”

Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, Guest of Honour, added: “Over the years, I have seen geriatric care evolve from a niche discipline into a critical pillar of healthcare. What Geri Care has built is a true continuum — combining skilled nursing, clinics, rehabilitation and assisted living in a way that responds to the real, everyday needs of older adults. Centres like this Adyar facility demonstrate how specialised geriatrics can be delivered at scale, without losing the human touch.”

Also addressing the gathering, Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished Neurologist and Founder, AVS Brain Charitable Trust, said: “Neurological and cognitive conditions are among the most complex challenges in older adults. What stands out at Geri Care is their holistic approach — from memory care and rehabilitation to skilled nursing and family support. This Adyar centre strengthens Chennai’s geriatric care ecosystem and will make a meaningful difference to countless seniors.”

Geri Care also announced that operations at its existing integrated geriatric clinic on Adyar 1st Main Road will be fully transitioned to this new Adyar centre with immediate effect, consolidating clinical services, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation under one roof for improved continuity of care.

As part of the inauguration day celebrations, Geri Care launched Endrum Margazhi, a year-long cultural initiative dedicated to elders, with an inaugural Carnatic vocal concert by Kalaimamani Dr. Nithyashree Mahadevan, reinforcing Geri Care’s commitment to nurturing emotional wellbeing alongside medical care.

With this launch, Geri Care strengthens its footprint across Chennai and Bengaluru, with Coimbatore coming soon, continuing to build a 360-degree continuum of eldercare spanning clinics, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living residences and home-care services — all delivered by geriatric specialists.
