Hey We are Two years Young ! A1 Snehanjali unfolds Journey in Elder Care......




A journey of farmer’s son, from small sleepy town to mega city Mumbai, to being a  ‘Son to a Million Parents’, a journey of a social enterprise started by Sailesh Mishra on April 2008 to multifaceted Silver Innings Group in 2015, working with Senior Citizens and their family.

Today on 17th Aug 2015 we complete our two year long journey of our A1 SNEHANJALI , it was such a wonderful year with so much learning, happiness, networking, happening, so many new friends, colleagues, celebrations, prayers….. Memorable years to cherish…. some left us, some joined us….. a journey worth continuing in the company of our elders….



Iam feeling sentimental, never ever thought we could do this, an acknowledgement from globe and ageing domain never looked so easy, though journey to Silver Innings was tough….with many ups and downs….. A1 Snehanjali started with a thought of not only making nursing home or old age home, A journey from rubble to home with a heart….from an idea to reality, from a black and white document to infrastructure, from preaching to practice. Financial help from a ‘good friend’ made a dream come true…… And a hunger ‘to do more’, a shoutout, ‘Give Me More’…



With success of A1 Snehanjali and alongside new learning, we are in the process of launching our new facility ‘A SILVER AMORE’ very soon in coming months, introducing nursing supervision and medication management with holistic care.



With a mission for working towards creating Elder Friendly World where Ageing becomes a Positive and Rewarding Experience, Silver Innings on 17th Aug 2013 ventured into a completely new horizon of providing 24 x 7 assisted living elder care home for elder residents who don’t need constant medical intervention or nursing home care, with launching of its first facility A1 Snehanjali in a small town of Nalasopara in the western suburb of Mumbai. A1 Snehanjali started its elder care facility with a goal of  “Transforming lives to mitigate loneliness, helplessness, and boredom”.




At A1 Snehanjali our mission is to help elders and their family members to overcome the challenges of ageing and show them the way to transform lives to reduce loneliness and helplessness and live with dignity in their silver years. We are the pioneers in India to introduce ‘Rights of Residents’ in Elder Home.



Our nurturing and trained professional staff is dedicated to provide all residents with highest level of quality and expert services. Families subscribing to our service are assured peace of mind; knowing that their loved one is enjoying his/her best days of “Silver Years” at A1 Snehanjali. A therapeutic and secure environment is provided to the residents along with non-pharmacological interventions, with core being Holistic care.



A1 Snehanjali has created package of integrated amenities that is designed to provide seniors with most of the services required to lead a normal home-like life. It offers both personalized and group programs and services that focus on stimulating mind, body and soul.  We offer a convenient month-to-month room rental that includes the following -  Comfortable room including basic utilities ; Three Veg meals a day (As per nutritional requirement) ; Common dining facility (with option for room service if required) ;Access to attending staff 24 hours a day ; Daily housekeeping and weekly laundry service ;Daily activities and exercise programs ; Transportation to doctor’s appointments ; Medication management, assistance with pill box ; Weekly medical checkup ; Doctor on call ; Grooming and Hygiene ; Incontinence care ; Bathing & Dressing and more.



General Principles of Caring for Residents at A1 Snehanjali are :Person Centered Care; Dignity & Respect; Communication; Independence; Privacy and Safety.



On behalf of my entire team of Silver Innings Group and A1 Snehanjali, I take this opportunity to Thank all my Residents, their Family Members, Staff, Colleagues, Caregivers, Supporters, Partners, Well wishers, Donors, Doctors, Institutions, Critics, Trustees, Friends and Family for all your support and for being part of our amazing journey of elder care. We will create many such milestones. We are still learning, We had gains and we had losses too, We failed and got success too.... Iam sorry if in this journey we knowingly or unknowingly hurt anyone……. Forgive us, as we are children who are passionate and committed to work for social cause of our elders.



Let us also pray for departed soul who left us with blessings and also pray for well being of all our residents, staff, colleagues and their families. God bless our home with happiness and peace.
