Tribeca Eldercare: Best Senior Travel Service to Stay...
11th Sep 2025
Tribeca Eldercare, Kolkata’s largest Eldercare Provider does more than look after senior citizens with care services, nursing and emergency responses. It offers add-on services for travel and community engagement.
This comes from the understanding that older people suddenly lose their zest for living. Firstly, the ageing process often brings on health problems which make participating in regular activities challenging and difficult. That is why one sees people who have been happy and active when younger, suddenly diffident about going out when they get older. They stop making the effort to go anywhere on their own.
Tribeca tries to make their Senior Members forget aches and pains. The planned travel and trips and movie outings add joy to their lives. These services motivate elders to take interest in activities outside the house. Old age is no longer an elephant in the room to fear.
Getting confined to the house and becoming isolated is a short step away from depression. Suddenly it seems as if nobody cares anymore. Many elders are heard saying, “What is the point of staying alive?” Conversations start focusing on health and friends who may have passed on. The reality of children living far away and only able to make sudden, brief visits is also a contributing factor to loneliness. There is nothing to do and life seems very empty.
Tribeca Eldercare started Club Tribeca for Senior Travel Programmes and Socialization precisely for this reason – to give its Senior Members a chance to get out of the house, take trips with other seniors, socialize and enjoy outings.
The joy of anticipation and planning, staying alert, packing the right clothes and gathering the right documents, medicines … all this mental and physical activity has enormous benefits. It reduces the propensity to cognitive decline, stress and anxiety, and even cardiovascular ailments. It provides a motivation to stay active, to walk about. It is medically proven that the slide to dementia is deeply embedded in loneliness, isolation and lack of socialization.
Care Managers at Tribeca have commented that some of their Senior Members who live sedentary lives and cannot be persuaded to even go for walks in the neighbourhood perk up immensely, when they are on trips. They walk quite a lot, even though it maybe at a slower pace. They walk on sandy beaches, they walk up inclines and they walk around temple complexes. Out of a standard group of maybe 20-25 travellers per trip, it may be only a few who actually need and ask for wheelchairs.

One Member declared, after the Puri trip: “I look forward to Club Tribeca
Travel all the year round. It gives me a chance to meet my friends, many of
whom have become friends just because we are all Tribeca Members. The
trips are planned so well, no worries of any kind. Thank you, Club Tribeca,
for giving us these wonderful experiences.”
Every detail is taken care of. From all the airline bookings and ticketing or the train reservations, the hotel stay, the commute to and from the airport or station, planning special meals, arranging for wheelchair assistance – at every step, Tribeca Care Managers are there to look after the Senior Travellers.
From small local trips to the Mandarmani Beach or a trip along the River Hooghly – to long trips to Kashmir and Jaipur, Coorg and Puri, Tribeca Eldercare members can look forward to a yearlong travel calendar which promises activity, socialization and enjoyment.
Tribeca Care Managers notice that their seniors travelling together start making friends and becoming socially engaged. Many want to know when they sign up for a travel plan, if any of their friends will also be on the same trip. This interaction can extend to more than just the brief travel interlude. Club Tribeca already organises social events like Movies and Chai Addas and these provide additional opportunities for senior members to meet friends and enjoy happy evenings.
