Nightingales Medical Trust

What Nightingales Medical Trust does

Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT) is a professionally managed not-for-profit organization founded in 1998 in Bengaluru by Dr. Radha S. Murthy and Mr. S. Premkumar Raja, focused on elder care and dementia services across India. The organization operates a portfolio of residential dementia care facilities (Nightingales Centre for Ageing and Alzheimer's with 100 beds, Tanya Mathias Elder Care Centre, ETCM-Nightingales Dementia Care Centre in Kolar with 50 beds), day care centers, shelter homes for destitute elders (Sandhya Suraksha with 80 beds, Sandhya Kirana), active ageing programs (Bagchi Centre for Active Ageing), the Elders Helpline 1090 in partnership with Bengaluru City Police, the Jobs 60+ employment program for retired seniors, and the Dementia India Alliance launched in 2023 as a sister entity. Telemedicine-enabled care delivery using a hub-and-spoke model with proprietary Tele-dementia Management Software connects Bengaluru specialists to satellite centers, achieving a 46% reduction in operational costs at Kolar. Digital products include the DemKonnect mobile app for dementia care support (launched 2020) and the DemClinic continuum-of-care platform (launched 2021).

NMT generates no fee revenue from beneficiaries — all elder care services are provided free of cost. Funding flows from individual donations (eligible for 50% tax deduction under Section 80G), corporate CSR partnerships (Deutsche Bank, Azim Premji Foundation, Capital One), institutional and government grants (Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, RRTC designation for South India), and FCRA-registered foreign contributions. A modest training and capacity-building revenue stream runs through sister entity Nightingales Empowerment Foundation (registered 2012), delivering caregiver, geriatric, dementia, and CPR/first-aid training programs. The organization carries FCRA registration for cross-border funding and is registered as a trust in Karnataka.

Customer segments span persons with dementia and Alzheimer's (primary), healthy senior citizens seeking active ageing (primary), marginalized and economically backward elders, retired elders seeking post-retirement employment, elders facing abuse or distress, and family caregivers of persons with dementia. NMT has cumulatively helped 5,047 persons with dementia, assisted 3,42,338 elders in distress, placed 5,217 seniors in jobs, and trained 60,000+ professional caregivers, while serving 800+ elders daily across its facilities. Upcoming capacity additions include Smriti Gram, a 300-bed specialized dementia care centre in Doddaballapur with a Training Academy, with phase one operational by September 2026.
