Sri Om Care: Nurturing Seniors with Dignity and Cultural Sensitivity

Sri Om Care is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing culturally appropriate aged care services to seniors from South Asian backgrounds in Australia. Founded with a deep respect for traditional values and the unique needs of the ageing South Asian community, Sri Om Care delivers holistic support that blends modern care practices with cultural understanding.

The organisation operates with the belief that every senior deserves to age with dignity, respect, and a sense of belonging. From in-home care services and social support to wellness programs and group activities, Sri Om Care ensures its programs are aligned with the spiritual, dietary, linguistic, and cultural preferences of its clients. Staff members and volunteers are fluent in several South Asian languages and are trained to be culturally sensitive, fostering trust and familiarity among clients.

One of the cornerstones of Sri Om Care’s services is its commitment to social inclusion. Through regular community gatherings, religious celebrations, and culturally tailored wellness sessions such as yoga and meditation, the organisation actively works to reduce isolation among elderly migrants and promote mental and physical well-being.

Sri Om Care also supports families navigating the aged care system, offering guidance, respite, and emotional support. As Australia’s population grows increasingly diverse, Sri Om Care stands as a model for culturally competent aged care, rooted in compassion and community.

With strong community engagement and dedicated leadership, Sri Om Care continues to expand its services, ensuring that seniors not only live longer but also live better, surrounded by care that honours their heritage.
