Naman Care Home — Caring with a heart

Aged & Elderly Care

Growing older well is a mix of small daily things — a warm meal, a walk in the garden, someone to talk to, help with medicines. Our home is built around those small things. That is what makes the days feel like life, not a stay.

What care includes

  • Trained caregivers for bathing, dressing, and mobility
  • Nurses for medication timing and health monitoring
  • Three meals plus tea — home-style Nepali cooking, dietary needs respected
  • Laundry, room cleaning, and personal-care supplies included
  • Doctor rounds and hospital escort for appointments
  • Garden time, morning pranayama, quiet music, television and family visits

Who this is for

Families who feel their parent is no longer safe or comfortable living alone — but who want a home for them, not a facility.

A modern old age home in Kathmandu — care with dignity

When families search for an old age home in Kathmandu, what they are really looking for is a safe, respectful place where an ageing parent can live well — not simply be housed. Naman is a professional, medical-grade old age home built around exactly that: 24-hour nursing, doctor rounds, physiotherapy, home-style meals, and the small daily kindnesses that make a place feel like home rather than an institution.

The Nepali term वृद्धाश्रम carries an old, sometimes heavy meaning — a place where the elderly are left behind. We reject that idea completely. Choosing residential care at Naman is not stepping away from your parent; it is choosing round-the-clock trained hands, clinical safety, and companionship that a busy household often cannot provide alone. Many of our residents are here precisely because their families love them enough to want more support than home allows.

Daily life is unhurried and sociable. Mornings begin with tea, pranayama and a walk in the garden; nurses manage medications and monitor health through the day; caregivers help with bathing, dressing and mobility with patience and privacy. Afternoons make room for rest, activities, music and television, and family time. A nurse and caregivers are on duty every night, and call bells are answered within minutes — so an older adult is never alone with a worry at 2am.

Family is always welcome. There are quiet hours around meals and rest, but relatives can visit throughout the day and evening, and overnight stays can be arranged for special occasions. Both of our branches — Pipalbot (Maharajgunj), near Gangalal Hospital, and Bansbari — offer the same standard of residential elderly care, so families can choose the location that is easiest to reach. If your parent's needs grow over time, care can scale up from a General Ward room to a Cabin or the High Care Unit without a disruptive move to another facility.

Common questions

How many staff are on duty at night?

Both a nurse and caregivers are on duty every night. Call bells are answered within minutes.

Can family visit any time?

Yes. There are quiet hours around meals and rest, but family are welcome throughout the day and evening. Overnight stays can be arranged for special occasions.

What if my mother's needs increase over time?

We can scale care up — from a General Ward room to a Cabin or the High Care Unit — without a move to another facility. That continuity matters for older adults.

Do you speak Nepali? English? Newari?

Nepali is the main language of the staff. English is spoken by nurses, doctors, and administration. Several staff speak Newari, Tamang, or other languages — we try to match a familiar staff member where language matters.

The one memorable thing

A Day at Naman

What will my mother’s day actually be like? Here it is — hour by hour, from the ward we run every day.

  1. 6:30 AM

    Morning tea & pranayama

    The ward wakes gently — tea, medication check, and a few quiet breaths on the balcony.

  2. 8:30 AM

    Physiotherapy

    Individual sessions in the therapy room, adjusted daily to how the resident is feeling.

  3. 10:30 AM

    Garden time

    Sunlight, a slow walk with an aide, and often the day's first proper smile.

  4. 12:30 PM

    Dal bhat lunch

    Nepali home-style meals from our kitchen — soft options, special diets, always fresh.

  5. 2:00 PM

    Rest

    Quiet hours; nurses in and out for vitals but the room stays calm.

  6. 4:00 PM

    Family visits & video calls

    In-person visits, and a tablet at the bedside for families abroad — set up by an aide.

  7. 7:00 PM

    Evening bhajan or TV

    Whatever the resident prefers — soft music in the common room, or the news in their cabin.

  8. 10:00 PM

    Night rounds

    Nurses check every bed. If anything changes, the family gets a call — no matter the hour.
