UNITED KINGDOM, December 29, 2011 (wandsworthguardian): A new center which specializes in care for the borough’s aging Hindu community opened last week. The Bhakti Shyama Care Center, in Balham New Road, caters to Asian elders and is located behind the Radha Krishna Hindu Temple. An event was held earlier this month to celebrate its opening, which was attended by MP Jane Ellison and council leader Councillor Ravi Govindia.
It can cater for up to 25 people, and provides services for users in their own homes or at the center. All of the staff can speak Gujarati or Hindi and specialized vegetarian meals will be provided to meet dietary requirements.
Jane Ellison MP said: “For an ever-increasing number of people, their choice of quality long-term care is a vital one. I welcome the way that the Bhakti Shyama Care Centre team have brought fresh thinking to delivering services that meet the needs of our diverse society.”
