In the august presence of Somendranath Adhakari (Diocese of Calcutta), Raghab Naik (Diocese of Calcutta), The Rt Revd Dr. Paritosh Canning (Bishop of Calcutta), Abir Adhakari [Vice-President] ( Diocese of Calcutta) and Pradib Kumar Nanda [Register] (Diocese of Calcutta), the revival of the Mary Cooper Home was discussed.

The “Mary Cooper House” is another of the Bishop of Calcutta’s dream projects that was lost for more than 75 years and unknown to the Diocese and the rest of the world.

The Rt. Revd. Dr. Paritosh Canning is a visionary leader with a distinguished Anglican heritage and a well-known social activist. With his outreach efforts, he is in charge of opening up the Diocese to the outside world. He had returned the house to the Calcutta Diocese.

The Mary Cooper Home is located at 4/2 Diamond Harbour Road, Kolkata- 700023. Dr. Canning’s assistance has resulted in the Old Age Home being furnished with all contemporary conveniences for a comfortable stay. It belongs to the Calcutta Diocesan Trust Association (Pvt) under the Diocese of Calcutta.

The elderly residents of this facility are given the fundamental care and amenities they require throughout their final years. The home will provide them with wholesome and clean meals in addition to a variety of activities to prevent loneliness. One of the top facilities for the elderly is Mary Cooper Home. Assistance with daily living, healthcare services, safety, housekeeping services, social engagement, regular meals, specialized healthcare, etc. is some of the advantages that the older residents of this community can take advantage of.

20 senior citizens can stay at The Mary Cooper Home.

The criteria for getting a seat at The Mary Cooper Home include:

• Male or female over 60 years of age.
• In good health.

The Bishop announced that from 1st April 2023, the Home will be run and managed by the Diocese of Calcutta. For inquiries, one can contact William Redden at 99660 81217 or Deon Tully at 90387 80667.
