Supporting the Elderly with Dignity and Compassion

Established in 2018, Agewell Foundation USA Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for elderly individuals living alone in India. Our mission is to ensure that every senior citizen experiences dignity, respect, and compassionate care in their golden years—regardless of their circumstances or family situation.

With many Non-Resident Indian (NRI) families living abroad, a growing number of ageing parents in India face loneliness, health challenges, and lack of daily support. Agewell Foundation USA bridges this gap by providing comprehensive physical, emotional, and social care to these seniors. We act as a trusted link between NRI families and their aging loved ones, ensuring that distance never leads to neglect.

Through a wide network of trained volunteers, healthcare professionals, and community partners, we deliver vital services such as providing healthcare equipment like wheelchairs, adult diapers, etc., health monitoring, home visits, emergency response, and medical coordination. We also assist in maintaining communication between elderly parents and their families abroad, offering reassurance and emotional stability. Additionally, our social engagement programs and counseling initiatives help seniors overcome isolation and rediscover joy in their daily lives.

Our work is guided by compassion and the belief that old age should be a celebration of life, not a struggle. By providing care and companionship, we restore confidence, independence, and self-worth among seniors. Each small gesture—from a wellness call to timely medical assistance—reinforces our message that every elder matters.

Since its inception, Agewell Foundation USA has supported thousands of elderly individuals across India, improving health outcomes and emotional well-being. Proudly accredited with the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing, we uphold global standards of elder care and advocacy.

At its core, Agewell Foundation USA stands for love, respect, and dignity—ensuring that ageing remains a time of comfort, connection, and compassion.

Elderly Lives Matter

Elderly lives matter globally because older adults are the keepers of wisdom, experience, and cultural heritage. They have contributed immensely to building families, communities, and nations, and deserve to live their later years with dignity, respect, and security. As populations age worldwide, ensuring the well-being of seniors is not just a moral duty but a measure of a society’s compassion and progress. Supporting the elderly through healthcare, inclusion, and engagement empowers them to live active, purposeful lives—reminding the world that aging is not an end, but a vital, continuing part of the human journey.

In India, millions of senior citizens now live alone as a result of urbanization and migration. Many experience what is often called “Emptiness Syndrome” — a deep sense of loneliness and abandonment that severely impacts their physical and emotional well-being.

For Non-Resident Indian (NRI) families, the guilt and constant concern for ageing parents left behind can be equally distressing. Agewell Foundation USA steps in to bridge this emotional and caregiving gap by acting as a surrogate family for these seniors. Through compassionate support, regular interaction, and dedicated care services, we ensure that elderly individuals in India are not forgotten or neglected. Our mission is to bring comfort, security, and a sense of belonging to their lives, upholding their dignity and ensuring that their golden years are filled with warmth, respect, and human connection despite the distances that separate families.

Beating the Emptiness Syndrome


A large number of older persons live alone with what we call "Emptiness Syndrome" - a profound sense of isolation that occurs when younger family members move away in search of better prospects. This syndrome affects millions of elderly individuals across India, leading to depression, anxiety, health deterioration, and in severe cases, a complete loss of will to live. The emotional toll of being left behind, combined with the practical challenges of managing daily life without family support, creates a crisis that demands urgent attention and compassionate intervention.

Agewell Foundation USA extends a helping hand to these aging parents who have been left behind with no family support. Our comprehensive approach addresses both the emotional and practical needs of elderly individuals, providing them with a surrogate family structure that ensures they are not forgotten or neglected. Through our network of trained volunteers, healthcare professionals, and community partners, we bring hope, dignity, and quality care to those who need it most.

Agewell Foundation USA - Bridging the Distance for NRI Families

Agewell Foundation USA

A Trusted Bridge Between NRIs and Their Elderly Relatives in India

For millions of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living abroad, one of the most challenging aspects of their success story is the guilt and worry about elderly parents left behind in India. The physical distance, combined with time zone differences and work commitments, makes it nearly impossible to provide the day-to-day care and emotional support that aging parents need. This situation creates stress for both NRI children and their elderly parents, often resulting in deteriorating relationships and health issues.

Agewell Foundation USA has set up an extensive network of trained volunteers, healthcare professionals, and support staff across India specifically to address this critical need. We understand the unique challenges faced by NRI families and have developed specialized programs that keep elderly relatives physically safe, emotionally secure, and socially engaged. Our volunteers serve as your eyes, ears, and hands in India, providing the care and attention that distance makes impossible for you to give directly.

Our Specialized NRI Family Support System

Comprehensive Care Model: Keeping in mind the circumstances of NRIs and their concerns for elderly relatives, Agewell Foundation has devised a comprehensive family support system model for elderly relatives living alone. This model ensures they are kept physically safe through regular health monitoring and emergency response systems, emotionally secure through daily check-ins and counseling services, and socially engaged through community programs and activities.

Professional Communication & Healthcare Modules: The Agewell Foundation has developed specialized communication and healthcare modules specifically for elderly family members of NRIs. These modules have been carefully designed by experienced and well-qualified professionals who have been dealing with old age issues for many years. They cover everything from daily health monitoring and medication management to crisis intervention and family communication facilitation.

Regular Updates & Peace of Mind: We provide NRI families with regular, detailed updates about their elderly relatives' wellbeing through weekly reports, monthly health assessments, and immediate alerts in case of any concerns. This transparency gives you peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are being well cared for, and allows you to stay actively involved in their lives despite the physical distance.
