Kumar BahukhandiAntara Memory Care Home, Gurgaon, has become the first care home in India to receive the prestigious NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) Care Home Accreditation.
India, till recently, lacked standardized guidelines for memory care homes, leading to inconsistencies in the quality of care provided to individuals with dementia. With an increasing elderly population and a rise in memory-related ailments, the need for structured, regulated, and high-quality dementia care has never been more urgent.
NABH, India’s leading healthcare accreditation body, recently introduced its first-ever accreditation program for care homes, aimed at elevating the standards of senior care in the country. By achieving this accreditation, Antara Memory Care Home reaffirms its dedication to excellence in personalized care, clinical wellness, and safety for residents with dementia.
Dr. Atul Mohan Kochhar, CEO, NABH, congratulated Antara on this landmark achievement, stating, “NABH Care Home Accreditation sets a new gold standard for senior care in India. Antara Memory Care Home’s recognition as the first accredited care home highlights its dedication to providing structured, high-quality memory care with empathy and expertise. This achievement will inspire other institutions to follow suit and enhance the landscape of dementia care in the country.”

This NABH accreditation validates our holistic, expert-led approach to memory care, where our highly trained caregivers and specialized clinical wellness solutions ensure that every resident receives personalized attention in a safe and nurturing environment.”
Prem Singh Rathore, Executive Vice President & Head – Business Processes & Quality, reflected on the significance of this milestone, adding, “Our commitment to operational excellence, structured routines, and advanced dementia care has been at the heart of Antara Memory Care Homes. This accreditation reaffirms our focus on maintaining the highest standards in safety, clinical wellness, and personalized care, making Antara a trusted choice for families seeking expert memory care for their loved ones.”
