Antara Senior Care Home in Noida Becomes First in City to Get NABH Accreditation
Noida, March 27: Antara Senior Care, India's only fully integrated senior care ecosystem, has achieved another milestone with its Noida Care Home becoming the first senior care facility in the district to receive the NABH Care Home Accreditation. This is the second facility in the Antara network to receive this prestigious recognition, following its Gurugram Care Home, which became the first facility in India to receive this certification in 2025.
With this achievement, Antara Senior Care is now the only assisted living provider with NABH-accredited care homes in north India, setting a new benchmark for quality and safety in senior care.
What is NABH Care Home Accreditation?
The NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) Care Home Accreditation is a set of safety and quality norms designed specifically to standardize care delivery in residential facilities. The accreditation process evaluates facilities across critical parameters including:
-
Resident safety and quality of life measures
-
Clinical governance and staff qualifications
-
Medication management and infection prevention
-
Physical infrastructure standards, including round-the-clock availability of essentials like potable water and electricity
-
Safety devices installation and periodic inspection
-
Bio-medical waste management systems
-
Emergency preparedness protocols
-
Resident rights through grievance redressal mechanisms
Leadership Commentary
Ishaan Khanna, CEO of Antara Assisted Care Services, emphasized the importance of the accreditation in building trust with families.
"Choosing a care home for a loved one is ultimately a decision made on trust. The NABH accreditation offers that trust as proof. It means that here care is delivered through defined processes, by qualified and trained professionals, against standards that are independently verified. For us, this certification reflects our long-standing belief that quality senior care cannot be left to chance. Our goal is to extend this standard across our care home network in Delhi-NCR, Bangalore and Chennai, and continue raising the bar for what families should expect from senior care in India," Khanna said.
Prem Singh Rathore, Chief Quality Officer at Antara Senior Care, highlighted the broader significance of the accreditation for India's senior care sector.
"Senior care in India has evolved in an informal and fragmented manner. It's largely unregulated with wide variations in quality and safety delivered. NABH accreditation represents an important shift toward making ecosystems more structured, accountable, scalable with readiness to deliver standardized care. It ensures that care delivery is guided by documented processes, measurable standards, and continuous quality improvement across functions. Achieving this accreditation reflects Antara's commitment to operational excellence and to building systems that can deliver safe and dignified care consistently for every resident," Rathore said.

India's Demographic Shift and Need for Quality Senior Care
India is on the cusp of a significant demographic shift that is reshaping the country's care needs. Key statistics include:
-
India's senior population is set to more than double to approximately 350 million by 2050 (JLL-ASLI report, 2024)
-
The 80+ population is projected to grow by 279 per cent in the same timeframe (UNFPA)
To improve health span alongside rising lifespan, the need for structured, reliable, and professionally managed senior care infrastructure is becoming increasingly urgent.
Addressing Fragmentation in Senior Care
India's senior care ecosystem remains largely fragmented and unregulated, leading to inconsistencies in care delivery. The adoption of NABH Care Homes Accreditation Standards represents a decisive step toward building institutional preparedness to meet India's rising need for safe and high-quality environments that deliver dignified care.

Outlook
As India's senior population continues to grow, the need for standardized, high-quality senior care facilities will only increase. Antara's achievement in securing NABH accreditation for its Noida facility represents a significant step forward in professionalizing the sector and providing families with the assurance of quality care for their loved ones.
