GedaraHome, looked after

Your parents aren't
just surviving.
They're living.

Gedara gives them their days back — outings, live music, festivals, friends nearby, and everything at home quietly handled. Not a check-in. A life. So you can breathe.

You know what keeps you up at night.

The silence between calls

It isn't that something will happen. It's that nothing does. Long, quiet days with nothing new to tell you — so the call is always about your life, never theirs.

The world that got smaller

Friends passed away or moved in with their own children. The temple feels far. The same four walls, the same television, from morning to night.

“I'm fine, putha”

They will never say they're lonely. They've spent their whole lives making sure you didn't worry. That doesn't stop now.

What life on Gedara looks like

Joy

Real experiences. Real memories.

Amma and Thaththa shouldn't have to wait for your call to have a good day.

Real outings, planned around what they actually love. Here's what a month can look like.

Movies

A Sunday matinee in Colombo. Tickets booked, driver waiting, and the two of them arguing about the ending all the way home.

Cricket Match

We took Thaththa to watch a live match at the stadium. He hadn't been since before we left.

Kandy Perahera

She hasn't seen the Perahera in eleven years. This August she had a good seat, a flask of tea, and company beside her.

Old Friends, Old Habits

Chess at the boutique, the newspaper over tea, a walk with friends who still remember him young. We make sure that doesn't stop.

Live Music

A baila evening at the community hall. He sang along to every song and talked about it for three weeks.

Birthday Surprises

Cake at the door at 9am, her favourite flowers, and your video call timed for the moment she opens it.

Care

The practical things, handled.

And when life needs handling — we handle it.

The practical side of the week, quietly taken care of — so nothing gets in the way of the good days.

Regular Home Visits

A familiar face checks in, every week or month.

Errands & Shopping

Groceries, pharmacy runs, whatever they need.

Doctor Appointments

We accompany them and report back to you.

Medicine Management

Refills tracked, prescriptions handled.

Monthly Report

Timestamped photos and a written update, sent to you.

Special Occasions

Birthdays, anniversaries — we make sure they're celebrated.

Pet Care

Vet visits, food deliveries and a hand with the dog when knees say no.

Home Repairs

Leaking taps, dead bulbs, the fan that's been rattling since March — sorted.

Community

They're never doing this alone.

A community they didn't know they needed.

Other parents, in the same city, in the same season of life. We bring them together.

Monthly gatherings

Tea and conversation with other Gedara parents living nearby. Same street, same stories, finally introduced.

Quarterly events

Concerts, outings and festival celebrations planned for the group — something on the calendar to look forward to.

One trip a year

A few days away together — hill country or the south coast — planned end to end, from transport to medication.
