Kolkata, Feb 17: A new era of senior living is emerging in Kolkata, where ageing is no longer synonymous with slowing down, but with living intentionally. At the forefront of this transformation is Primus Ganges at Srijan Ganga City, a landmark collaboration between Srijan Realty and Primus Senior Living, India’s leading professional senior living operator.
For decades, Kolkata’s seniors primarily aged within ancestral homes, guided by tradition and familial obligations. Today, a cultural shift is underway. Seniors are choosing independence, wellness, and community on their own terms — marking a transition from passive ageing to active, purposeful living.
“Kolkata’s residential conversation is maturing,” says Keshav Agarwal, Director, Srijan Realty. “Today’s seniors are not downsizing — they are right-sizing. They want independence without isolation, support without stigma, and community without compromise. Primus Ganges reflects that evolution.”
Primus Ganges offers thoughtfully designed studios, 1 BHK, and 2 BHK residences ranging from 500 sq. ft. to 1,311 sq. ft., balancing elegance with functionality. Residences feature barrier-free layouts, safety-conscious designs, and abundant natural light, ensuring comfort and empowerment rather than institutional management.
Beyond architecture, the community emphasizes structured wellness, preventive healthcare, and seamless support. With over 3,500 senior homes under development across six cities, Primus Senior Living brings trained care teams, technology-enabled monitoring, curated engagement programs, and on-call medical assistance to every resident.
“Senior living is not about adding more years to life,” says Adarsh Narahari, Founder & MD, Primus Senior Living. “It is about adding more life to every year. At Primus Ganges, seniors don’t just age safely — they age actively, with strength, dignity, and community.”
The development also addresses the “worry gap” families experience when adult children are geographically dispersed. By fostering meaningful social connections, daily engagement, and preventive wellness, Primus Ganges ensures reassurance and fulfillment for both residents and families.
With Kolkata’s strong healthcare infrastructure, cultural vibrancy, and sense of belonging, the city is poised to lead Eastern India’s senior living evolution. Primus Ganges represents the professionalization of ageing ecosystems, blending intelligent design with integrated care, where dignity, vitality, and purpose define the second innings.
Kolkata’s seniors are no longer waiting for life to slow down. With developments like Primus Ganges, the city’s second innings is intentional, vibrant, and future-ready.
