One of the major constraints Elders face these days is access to hygienic, fresh and timely food. At Sumukha :
we believe that one of the key to a happy living among elders is to get adequate, well balanced, hygienically cooked food in time. We put in a lot of efforts in understanding each individual needs, diets, medical condition and then plan their meal. While most of the meals are planned for all inmates together, individual preferences will be taken into account. Our meal schedule and items include:

Morning : Tea / Coffee / Beverage of their choice. Breakfast : Idli / Dosa / Upma / Poha / Rava Idli / Chapati / Sandwich / Rice Recipes like Pulao, Puliogere and Tomato Rice etc. Mid-morning snack : Butter milk with sprouts /salads, or Tea / Coffee with biscuits. Lunch & Dinner : – Rice, Sambar/Rasam, Vegetables, curds. Evening snacks : – Coffee / tea / beverages with biscuits / home baked cookies / bun and breads. Special menu on Festivals, and birthday of inmates. Entertainment

Like at any home, inmates will have access to
Satellite cable TV
DVD players (with choice of old movies)
Music players and Computers with hi-speed internet access. Picnics will be organized frequently to nearby places. Mind stimulating group activities to make inmates stay active mentally. Assistance will be provided to those who need help in using internet. Services
