Founded by a Son Who Lived It
Started by Vikas Lekhwar, Founder & CEO
Born from a son's love. Built for parents everywhere.
Vikas Lekhwar moved to Ireland in 2007 and spent nearly two decades worrying about his ailing parents in India from a distance. After losing both of them following a health crisis during the pandemic, he founded Seva Senior Homes so that families living far away would know their parents are safe, supported and never alone.

How Seva Works
The Thinking Behind Every Day at Seva
Our care philosophy
Support strengthens independence; it never takes over. Assistance is based on each resident's actual needs: we help where it is needed and encourage residents to keep doing what they can safely manage themselves. Every resident keeps their own private space, their own routines and a say in the decisions that affect them.
Why only five rooms
Seva is a small, close-knit residence of five rooms. At that size every resident is known personally by the team, companionship grows naturally over shared meals and activities, and support is shaped around each person rather than a timetable. It feels like a home, not an institution.
Who looks after residents
Day-to-day operations at the residence are led by Pappu Ram, Operation Incharge, supported by Seva's leadership: Vikas Lekhwar (Founder & CEO), Clare Furlong (CGO), Jared Camins (Strategic Advisor) and Leena Nair (Advisor). Enhanced Assistance is offered only when Seva has sufficient trained staff to support the resident safely.
Meet the team →Our admission philosophy
Moving to Seva should be the senior's own decision, made without pressure. Families are welcome to visit, meet the team and ask every question first, and a 30-day trial stay lets a senior experience life at Seva before committing. Admission is offered only where Seva can safely support the resident's needs: it requires a compulsory medical assessment, the resident's consent, staffing capacity and a suitable room.
Safeguarding
How We Keep Residents Safe
Families trust Seva with the people they love most. These are the practices that protect every resident:
Assessment before admission
Every new resident completes a compulsory medical assessment, so Seva only admits residents whose needs it can safely support.
Documented, reviewed care
Care is recorded for residents receiving Daily or Enhanced Assistance, and support plans are reviewed whenever needs change, and at least monthly for Enhanced Assistance.
Honest escalation
If a resident's needs grow beyond what Seva can safely provide, the family is told so that a safer alternative can be arranged.
Families kept informed
Families receive agreed updates: a structured weekly update under Daily Assistance, and enhanced communication after any significant change under Enhanced Assistance.
Emergency coordination
In an emergency, staff contact the resident's family, doctor, ambulance service or hospital and take reasonable steps to protect the resident's safety.
Consent, dignity and privacy
Residents are involved in decisions about their own care, and their personal information is protected through restricted access and secure storage.
