Shelter availability for senior citizens, July 2011 data, by Padmana Vyasamoorthy.

Table: Number of Old Age Homes in India.


"we can observe how the OAHs are unevenly distributed. Small UTs like Goa and Delhi have 25 and 36 OAHs; Large States like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have just 28 and 16 OAHs; Bihar, rightly known as a “Bhimary” state, has only one! Southern states fare much better having an average of 135 per state.Tamilnadu (and not Kerala!!) tops the list with 251 OAHs but nearly half of them have not furnished any details which makes one guess that most of them are only on paper. Zero in the table above should actually be read as “Not known” or Null".
