A new 16-studio, ground-plus-one-storey, Healing Touch, Senior Citizens Home at Village Garade, 23 kms from downtown Poona, has been started by ex-merchant navy officer Capt Adi Mistry on March 5, 2022. At present nine seniors are set to reside in the apartments that are "fully furnished with everything from toilet paper to geysers,” he notes. Facilities include a big recreation room, with a 48-inch television set and "almost all basic indoor games… The land has a long walkway, with huge trees, all along the roads… We plant about 300 trees every year,” Mistry stated. Wife Khurshid manages the staff.
