Karuna Day Care Centre · പകൽവീട്
A community day centre for senior citizens in Keezhpalli, Kannur —
where the hours are gentle, the table is shared, and no one spends the day alone.
Karuna Day Care Centre for Senior Citizens
A community-based centre for the well-being, dignity, and companionship of older people in and around Keezhpalli, Kannur.
For the past six months, in a rented home opened fresh each morning, the centre has welcomed around thirty to thirty-five senior citizens a day. Most of them live alone. Here, the daylight hours are spent in company — a safe, caring, and homely place where the day is shared rather than endured.
We open at ten and close at four. In between: prayer, music, gentle movement, a warm lunch, rest, conversation, and the simple reassurance of not being forgotten.

Activities & Care
Each day is shaped around the whole person — physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being — through gentle, familiar things:
Lunch, tea, and coffee are served through the day — comfort and nourishment, from morning to evening.
Medical & Professional Support
Basic medical assistance is provided each day under the supervision of a full-time qualified nurse, supported by experienced staff who keep a quiet, attentive eye — ready whenever someone needs help, reassurance, or simply a little extra care.
Our Commitment
Karuna Day Care Centre is run as a completely free service for senior citizens. Taking part costs nothing. For those able to give, voluntary donations help us continue — and, in time, expand — this care for more elders who need it.
