Abstract	The Elder Care market in India is driven by the increasing elder population in the country, growth in life expectancy, increase in nuclear families, increasing medical needs of the senior citizens, decrease in fertility, financial independence and NRIs returning to India after retirement. India has a familial culture. The Joint family system was the norm for many but in recent times due to increased life expectancy and children settling into nuclear families away from their parents both in other towns and abroad, many elderly parents are now staying alone needing care. Since the children are away, they are unable to care for their aging parents and worry about their care and safety. This situation along with the growing number of seniors has been recognized by the Government of India and measures have been taken to ensure that these seniors are well taken care of. This Geriatric Care Industry has attracted providers from the Private Sector as well.
