Misconceptions about pain management and the exclusive association with end-of-life stages often lead to hesitation among individuals. Goldencare actively combats these misunderstandings through education and resources.

Namaste program, its standout initiative, dispatches volunteers to assisted living facilities, providing customized services and religious programs led by chaplains and counselors.
