“Go to the peripheries with the joy of the Gospel.” This theme inspired CMC sisters of Thalassery Province to open a home for senior citizen at Nellckampoil in 1996. Pushpalayam home for senior citizen was started in order to protect, save and help needy senior citizens those who are not included and kept aloof from the routine activities of the families and society

Contemporary governments of all the Nations are facing a big challenge from the enormous growth ofaging population. The government has to spend a lot of money, time and manuers towards the protection of senior citizens. Otherwise the government could have used the time, money for the development of the nation but it is mandatory that the aging people should be under shelter by all means without considering the expenditure on it. Because of the good health culture in the society, the people of the nation a very healthy but age as well. The volume of aged people is far greater than that of the young generations of the society . That’s why we are planned to protect senior citizens. Our intention is to provide for all the required support to the senior citizens,without affecting the basic development of the young generation and the nation itself.

Humanity thrives through the help and support we render each other, especially to the support one provides to the needy and helpless people. This is the genuine way to enliven the Word of God.
