Bethesda proposes to establish old age homes, centre for the differently able, mental health rehabilitation, etc... at various locations under the aegis of the trust. The home is sited at a cool, serene atmosphere, on the river bank in Puthur in the district of Thrissur at Kerala. The old age home has a host of factors on offer. Natural village surroundings with a rustic appeal, very pleasant climate, clean, calm and serene atmosphere, committed and trained care takers, with proximity to places of worship and rich culture of Thrissur hospitality are few of the advantages. The ambience is soothing and the amenities are not compromised in terms of luxury and comfort to the residents.
The Chairman and overseas coordinator of the Bethesda, Mr. Benedict Maurice Dias, and his wife Thresia Dias (Philanthropist), who is the Managing Trustee of the group, cherished a vision to provide peace and care to their parents even when they were away in Kuwait for more than 25 years. This vision was translated into a mission when they set up a home in its literal sense for the seniors.
Being a philanthropist, Thresia Dias has been managing a centre in Kuwait for physically and mentally disabled people, helping many unfortunate people to lead a normal life. Her experience and care is an added advantage to the home.
