CARE HOME
Care Home – the door to compassion
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.
