The Senior Citizen Nursing Center Kamangu building and grounds

Established 2019

Born from a simple, personal conviction

Senior Citizen Nursing Center began as the initiative of two families who, having lived through the day-to-day realities of caring for their own elderly parents, resolved to build something better - a place where older people could be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, run by people who understood the weight of that responsibility because they had carried it themselves.

Registered as a Non-Governmental Organization under Section 10 of Kenya's NGO Co-ordination Act. Today we serve families across Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos counties, welcoming residents into a home that is as much about companionship and dignity as it is about medical and physical care. Beyond its role as a residence, the home also functions as a halfway house for elderly patients convalescing after illness or hospitalisation - a bridge back to stability for those who need more support than they can get on their own, even if only temporarily.
