Accommodation here is sought by women working in and around Annai Ashram and come to stay here for their safety

Initiated in 1991, aged women above 60 are admitted in this Home. Even grannies above 90 are living comfortably here. Those who fall sick are kept in a separate room and all their needs are fulfilled. At present 41 aged women are staying here.

If anyone dies, their relatives are informed and if no one turns up to do their last rituals, the Sangam does that also according to the caste to which the demised person belongs. The Sangam feels proud for many of the grannies do come forward to donate their eyes or other organs on their death
