Your Parents Are Ageing. Is Your Family Ready? | Senior Living in India |

#BaatJoKarniHai #AbhishekBharadwaj #SeniorLiving #AgeingParents Your parents spent their lives planning your future. But have you planned for theirs? India is ageing faster than most families are preparing for. Whether you're living in another city, another state, or another country, one question eventually catches up with every family: "What happens when our parents start needing support?" In this episode of Baat Jo Karni Hai, I sit down with Asheesh Gupta, Founder & CEO of Samarth Care, to discuss how Indian families can prepare for ageing parents before a crisis forces difficult decisions. Drawing from his experience of working with thousands of families across India and abroad, Asheesh shares practical insights on what children should start planning today—not when it's already too late. In this episode, we discuss: ✅ What every professional should start planning once parents turn 60+ ✅ The biggest mistakes children living away from their parents make ✅ What families who handle ageing well do differently ✅ How to build a support system when parents live in another city or country ✅ When phone calls and occasional visits are no longer enough ✅ What to look for every time you visit your parents ✅ The health, emergency, financial and legal conversations every family should have ✅ The decisions families delay the most—and later regret ✅ When should families start thinking about Senior Living? ✅ Senior Living vs Vriddhashram — understanding the real difference ✅ What patterns are emerging among Indian families and NRIs ✅ Why many parents resist accepting help—and how children should approach these conversations ✅ Is India prepared for an ageing population of nearly 23 crore senior citizens?
