Care Home – the door to compassion

Introduction

The Care Home Program by Helping Hands Charitable Trust, launched in 2019, provides free, hygienic, and compassionate accommodation to poor patients and their caregivers undergoing long-term treatment at hospitals like Calicut Medical College. It is more than a shelter — it is a healing environment that offers dignity, nutrition, rest, and emotional support.
