About ALIVE

Headquartered in Trivandrum, Kerala and with a base in Chennai, Alive is a group that was set up to find solutions for the various challenges we all face in growing old. Alive comprises of four key verticals: Alive Lifespaces, Home Solutions, Alivekart and Alive Foundation.

Through these brands, we address the Six Dimensions of Wellness -Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Occupational, Social and Spiritual- with a sense of purpose to help you to lead a safe and independent life.

Alive Lifespaces has introduced the concept of community living with a unique differential- that of "Adding Life to Age". The first in a series of projects, The Rainbow is envisaged as a community for holistic living in Trivandrum, Kerala that supports and empowers the elderly in an exceptional way.

Our mission is to create a positive change in the life of elders by enabling a safe, vibrant and happy life through successful ageing. Singularly positioned as India's first "Ageing Solutions Organization", Alive's The Rainbow is a distinctive venture specialised in the elder care segment.

Our belief

The Rainbow is community living at its finest - comprised of safe and secure homes for our elderly, with friends and caretakers who care for each other.

At The Rainbow, we believe that as we get older, we can lead a richer and more fulfilling life than ever before, and that's what we help you to do. Celebrate your life with no worries, no stress, and a greater sense of security, comfort and care than ever before.
