We are somehow used to the fact that for retirees and people with disabilities, mostly nursing homes are being built, in which lonely elderly people survive the remaining years. But there are other institutions, such as the sanatorium "Samara" in the city of Kislovodsk. They bring a lot of joy and warmth to pensioners, as well as strengthen their health, which has worsened over the long years of their lives.
About the history of the sanatorium "Samara" (Kislovodsk)
In 1997, by the decree of the government of the Samara region , a sanatorium-resort base was created in the city of Kislovodsk, designed to treat pensioners and disabled people. In 2007, the boarding house was transformed into a sanatorium "Samara". All these transformation measures have been taken in order to maintain the health status of citizens who are especially in need of state care.
Initially, the sanatorium had only 2 dormitories, designed for 39 beds. Over the past 10 years, the material base has expanded significantly: at the moment, the Samara sanatorium in Kislovodsk includes 4 dormitories, which can accommodate 110 vacationers. Of this number, 100 beds are fully funded by the regional budget of the Samara region, and 10 are provided for a fee to everyone.
