Residential Care Home for Senior Citizens

Safe and comfortable residential accommodation for seniors

This modern residential care home was built for senior citizens in 2006, with the generous support of our donors. So far, Gokuldham has been privileged to care for over 144 senior citizens, providing comfort, compassion and dignity.
Welcome to Gokuldham – Our goal is to make your life better
Under the scriptures and texts of Lord Swaminarayan, He commanded His followers to serve their elders and those who are not able to care for themselves. Therefore, at Gokuldham, we make it our duty and priority to take care of our elders.
Bhakti Sevashram is our residential care home for senior citizens, built in 2006 in acknowledgement for the great sacrifices they have made for us as a society. Throughout their lives, our elders have provided us with endless love, care, knowledge, insight, guidance and support.
Bhakti Sevashram is managed by Gokuldham, under the close and compassionate care of the Saints. Each of our residents is treated like a respected member of the family and we do not impose any time limit on the length of their stay.
