In the changing social milieu, the need for alternate living arrangements for the chronic mentally ill, away from their immediate family both as a process of psycho-social rehabilitation and a compelling family necessity is being increasingly recognised. |

| An overview of the campus |
Considering the need for providing a "Home away from home" for the mentally disabled, Cadabam'S started a residential care centre in Nov.1992, to provide short and long term residential psycho-social rehab and care for the chronic mentally ill in Bangalore, in memory of Late Amitha M.Cadabam, a mentally retarded child, who died at a untimely age of 23, in a rented premises near Konankunte on Kanakapura road. In 1997 the centre was shifted to its own premises. The new campus spread over a sprawling 18 acre of land is located on, Bangalore-kanakapura main road, about 20kms from the famous Banashankari Temple, Bangalore.
The home at present has around 150 residents both men and women, of different age groups, hailing from all over the country and some NRI's as well. The Home is ideally located in rural Bangalore, away from dust and din of the metropolis, amidst lush greenery and agricultural lands, providing a very healthy, clean unpolluted peaceful atmosphere bringing solace to the mind and body, alike. Cadabam's team of professionals and para professionals are guided by Ms.M.K.Saraswathi a qualified psychologist is the Administrator of the Home and is one of the Trustees.
"Cadabam'S is approved by the Government of Karnataka as a licensed Rehabilitation Centre under Mental Health act 1987". |
