A Message from Our Founder

We Care for Your Loved Ones with the Warmth of Family

"I stepped into elderly care as an academic, and over the years I came to see that this was never just a profession for me — it became a real purpose in life. I witnessed firsthand how often our elders go unseen, their needs overlooked. That experience taught me that elderly individuals deserve to be supported not only medically, but humanly as well. When I founded GAYA, the one thing on my mind was building a real, lasting answer to that need."

— Asst. Prof. Dr. Gaye Öz, Founder

Spatial Concept

A Meaning on Every Floor of Life

Gaya is not a building — it's a space of balance that reminds us life goes on. Each floor represents a different stage of life, where colors soften and light grows as you go up.

GAYA — Ground Floor: Roots and Welcome

01 / 05

Ground Floor

Roots and Welcome

"Colors meet here; life blossoms anew."

Gaya's heart is on the ground floor. This is where the first contact between the individual and the space takes place — a sense of trust, belonging and warmth is created here. The ground floor is also where the natural balance of the interior is reflected onto the façade — natural stone, green accents and indoor-outdoor continuity carry the feeling of nature into the space. The garden is an extension of the ground floor; the green tones inside turn into rainbow-like colors outdoors.

GAYA — 1st Floor: Living Together and Sharing

02 / 05

1st Floor

Living Together and Sharing

"The color of laughing, remembering and sharing together."

This floor is designed as the space where the sense of community is felt most intensely. Shared lounge areas, small socializing nooks and triple rooms are arranged with this in mind. The material language is supported with warm wood surfaces, and lighting is in a soft, daylight tone that supports the energy of the space. Using different colors together in the seating areas sends the message that individual differences can coexist within a wholeness.

GAYA — 2nd Floor: Peace and Balance

03 / 05

2nd Floor

Peace and Balance

"Time slows here, silence speaks."

The middle floor represents the calm, balanced period of life. Here colors cool, sounds soften, light becomes airier. Wall colors in the rooms are built with soft tonal transitions, supported by blue-green textiles. The shared lounge areas on this floor are designed around individual quiet and focus; reading nooks, planted alcoves and large windows strengthen the connection with nature.

GAYA — 3rd Floor: Memories and Light

04 / 05

3rd Floor

Memories and Light

"Life meets the light here, love stays green."

This floor represents the stage of maturity and remembrance in life. Here colors are lighter, light is more abundant; Gaya's face "at peace with its memories" appears on this floor. This floor holds 2 single, 3 double and 3 triple rooms; brightness, airiness and visual calm take center stage. In the bathrooms, white ceramic surfaces are paired with green tile details, underlining the relationship between nature and cleanliness.

GAYA — 4th Floor: Legacy and Horizon

05 / 05

4th Floor

Legacy and Horizon

"The light of wisdom spreads to the horizon."

The top floor of the building represents the point of wisdom that life arrives at, and the legacy of that wisdom passed on to younger generations. Wide terraces and panoramic views remind residents of the bigger picture of life on the floor where the gaze opens to the horizon. In the memory corner, residents share their past identities (teacher, doctor, artist, engineer, parent...), passing their experience on to younger generations — this is the topmost, brightest color of Gaya's rainbow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What You'd Like to Know

We've gathered the most frequently asked questions about the care process. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, you can reach us directly through our Contact page.

GAYA Huzurevi accepts individuals aged 55 and over who need daily living support and have no infectious diseases, under our elderly care service. For special cases such as Alzheimer's, dementia, palliative care, or physiotherapy needs, our expert team first conducts an individual health assessment to build the most suitable care plan.

The term "nursing home" generally covers housing, social life and daily support services for independent elderly individuals, while a "care home" is geared toward those who need medical care and regular health monitoring. At GAYA Huzurevi's branches in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Izmit and Germany, we combine both needs under one roof, offering uninterrupted care at both nursing home and care home standards.

During the move-in process, a copy of ID, a current health report, and any existing treatment/medication reports are generally requested. From the initial consultation onward, our branch guides the family step by step in preparing the necessary paperwork, so the process moves quickly and smoothly.

Care fees are shaped by the preferred room type, the resident's level of care (independent, semi-dependent, or dependent), and any additional health services needed (such as physiotherapy, a special diet program, or 24/7 nurse monitoring). To get a clear, transparent quote tailored to you, you can speak directly with one of our branches through our Contact page.

The move-in process at GAYA Huzurevi proceeds in four steps — initial consultation, health assessment, branch visit, and building a personalized care plan — and is usually completed within a few days. In urgent cases, our team can speed up the process for a faster move-in.
