Picture
yourself enjoying these bright yellow hibiscus'.
A hummingbird flies in, hovers in front of
each flower, takes a drink from each in turn, then zooms away.
All in the
open, no cages; what a beautiful natural experience.
Imagine...

Kalyani Senior Services, doing business as Always Best Care Senior Services
I am in awe of my Grandmother's contributions to this Universe. During
most of her adult years, she was instrumental in building and enriching
communities - both culturally and socially. She composed, sang and also
played the well known Indian instruments harmonium and esraj in a
Bengali community band nestled within the amazing grace of the mighty
Himalayas. As an ardent social worker, she established a women's
organization that made and sold beautiful hand-knit/woven products, and
hosted local cultural events. They taught their art to others, enabling a
whole generation of local women to be independent, and created a
beautiful community of amazingly generous and conscious women in a world
still dominated by men.
My Grandmom did all this while raising two children, one of them physically handicapped, who themselves are blessed with kind hearts. She supported her family physician husband, who indirectly contributed to and supported her social and cultural contributions. As if this wasn't enough, she also raised one of her grandchildren as her own.
I've seen this quiet, yet fiercely independent leader among women transition from constantly looking for ways to give and grow others, to becoming partially and now completely dependent on others for her physical well-being.
Kalyani (my Grandmother) Senior Services, doing business as Always Best Care Senior Services will provide the kind of loving and compassionate care that her daughter (my Mother), son, a few close family members and some wonderful care givers have been providing for her over the past several years. We will create certainty, hope and a sense of belonging that I've seen and felt my Grandmum long for (and I believe our aging seniors do as well in this globally connected yet distant world), as her body gave up after years of catering to her demands on it, so she could make a massive difference in this world. She had been born into a family of renowned historians, physicians, and thought leaders. Is this my way of continuing her legacy? Maybe.
