Abstract BACKGROUND: The rapidly growing elderly population necessitates the development of holistic, affordable, and sustainable models of geriatric care. Ayurveda, with its emphasis on Rasayana Chikitsa, lifestyle regulation, and integrative therapies, offers a comprehensive framework for promoting healthy and graceful aging. AIMS: This paper aims to highlight hospital-based models of geriatric care in Ayurveda that integrate preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative approaches to improve quality of life in the elderly. METHODS: A conceptual review of Ayurveda hospital-based care frameworks was undertaken. Key interventions included Dinacharya and Ritucharya for preventive health, Rasayana and Medhya therapies for physical and cognitive vitality, and Panchakarma for rejuvenation and detoxification. Supportive practices such as yoga, meditation, dietary counselling, and caregiver engagement were also integrated. Interdisciplinary collaboration among physicians, nurses, therapists, and attendants was emphasized to ensure continuity of care. RESULTS: Ayurveda hospital models demonstrate potential to address common geriatric challenges such as degenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, neurocognitive decline, and psychosocial stress. These interventions collectively enhance vitality, preserve dignity, and improve quality of life in elderly individuals by blending traditional healing with structured hospital care. CONCLUSION: Ayurveda hospital-based frameworks represent effective prototypes of integrative geriatric care. By uniting classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern healthcare delivery, they provide sustainable strategies for healthy aging and improved well-being in the elderly.
