From the Director

Tapas Elder Care had its inception 5 years ago when Mrs. Prajakta Wadhavkar had a unique vision for senior care. Single-handedly, she founded Tapas as a residential facility which proliferated into an exceptional success. She believes that taking care of the ‘Older Generation’ is our social responsibility.
Prajakta is expanding her horizons with a new counselling centre for the mental well-being of senior citizens. It encompasses testing and treatment along with brain-stimulating activities to address every challenge in ageing.
As a social entrepreneur and a mother of two daughters, Prajakta is an unprecedented example of success in this field today.

Tapas Team Makes a Difference

The Tapas Care Team distinguishes itself through a gold-standard, value-based approach that prioritizes 24/7 professional clinical supervision, ensuring immediate safety and expert emergency response for high-dependency residents.

Our multidisciplinary staff is specifically trained in dementia care and palliative support, moving beyond mere symptom management to provide a holistic “whole-person” model that balances emotional stability, social engagement, and geriatric nutrition.

By undergoing rigorous specialized training, every caregiver at Tapas is equipped with the technical expertise and empathy required to handle the delicate needs of bedridden patients and those navigating complex memory-related conditions like Alzheimer’s.

This commitment to continuous medical oversight and compassionate, movement-based therapy ensures that seniors in Pune and Navi Mumbai receive the dignity, safety, and specialized attention necessary to significantly enhance their overall quality of life.
