From its first four residents it has grown to a network of homes across Tamil Nadu and Bengaluru, funded partly by a thrift outlet whose proceeds pay for residents' medicines.

- Over 1,000 abandoned elderly destitute currently accommodated across 10 homes, mostly in Tamil Nadu and one in Bengaluru
