In the last Hidco Board meeting on 27th May, approval was given for setting up a Seniors' Home near the Seniors' Park. A design competition was invited earlier and a committee headed by noted architect Prabir Mitra, with members from Geriatric medical specialists and others, selected a design which was approved by the Board of Hidco. This would be built on an one acre plot overlooking the Seniors' Park so that the Home can get the benefit of the Park nearby. There would be a hundred rooms with a twin sharing basis. Common areas are very innovatively designed to allow frequent interactive spaces among residents.A financial viability analysis indicates that residents would have to pay a lump sum joning fee and a monthly recurring fee. Common activities and support services including kitchen, health and medicine units would be in-built. Membership of the Swapna Bhor Park would be automatic for the residents.
