The Alameda Nursing home in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, has dedicated an entire floor to the care of Indian elderly. The patients are all Indian, the staff is Indian, and the vegetarian food, entertainment, and other surroundings are all Indian.

While it is a very painful decision to have to put one's parents in a nursing home, it can be even more difficult for those of our culture. For those who have no choice and need 24 hour medical care for their loved ones, the Alameda Center offers some degree of comfort. The idea was originated by Dr. Mukund Thakar in 2005, and seems to be the only one of its kind in the country.
