| How to Read the Lists of Old Age Homes in Maharashtra
Initially LSS started off getting maximum information on the OAH in Maharashtra. LSS gathered as much information as possible by sending a questionnaire regarding the amenities and facilities, monthly charges, deposit, donation etc. Some OAHs had closed down or some were not in existence i.e. were only on paper. The addresses of OAHs who have not responded to LSS queries but LSS is sure that they exist can be got from LSS office at a charge. LSS personally visited some OAHs and gathered information. The information on the OAHs received by LSS is below. The left hand side has the name of the OAH, address, telephone number, visiting hours, etc. The right hand side has information of the monthly charges, donation, deposit, etc. that the elderly have to pay. Also the facilities and the amenities available at the OAH are referred to the corresponding number on the list of facilities below. Please enquire on the telephone as there may be changes from time to time. About this list of Old Age Homes in Maharashtra:Lokmanya Seva Sangh had started an Old Age Home named “Anand Dham” at Jambhulpada, District – Raigad.
