Doctors helping seniors live quality lives
Exceptional Senior Memory care in a safe and fulfilling environment
Aroha Memory Care will be a high-quality, MD-owned and operated assisted living facility where seniors and their families can rest assured they are receiving the highest quality of care, comfort, and compassion while they continue to thrive and preserve their dignity.
Lifestyle Medicine is the use of a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and positive social connections to treat, reverse, and manage disease. Doctors Raj and Nisha both decided to pursue this certification after incorporating these principles into their own lives and medical practices over the last 10 years. They strongly believe and follow the philosophy that these 5 pillars are foundational for long-term health and wellness.
Dr. Raj and Nisha Kalra’s vision is to provide exceptional care for the elderly in a safe, loving, and beautiful home while creating a supportive and fulfilling environment to enable residents to flourish by making new friends and engaging in meaningful activity – a place they would consider for their own mom and dad.
Dr. Raj and Nisha Kalra’s expertise, training, experience, and drive to improve senior care for their families, loved ones, and communities creates a significant advantage for them to elevate senior assisted living and wellness for their residents.
Dr. Raj Kalra plans to provide a concierge rehabilitation, pain management, and lifestyle medicine service to seniors and their families in their respective homes. Dr. Nisha Kalra plans to develop a concierge Lifestyle Dentistry service – a dental clinic that will serve seniors at their homes with hygiene and general dentistry care which is an integral part of senior wellness. These ancillary services will further enhance the senior’s quality of life, happiness, and longevity.
"We believe seniors can maintain and improve their quality of life, independence, health, physical function, and longevity when provided a safe environment, optimal care, rehabilitation, and family support."
