Every year, thousands of our compatriots travel to hot countries to spend their holidays there. However, there are many people who like to relax in Russia, who enjoy the beauty of their native land and are interested in the architecture and history of their country. Accommodation in hotels or hotels is not always profitable, but rest in a boarding house is much cheaper and more convenient.
What is a boarding house?
In Soviet times, sanatoriums were very popular, where citizens with various diseases could move in for a whole month. They received proper treatment there, and underwent procedures that were beneficial to health. In contrast to the sanatoriums, there is no strict day regime in the boarding houses , that is, the main goal here is not to carry out health procedures and treatment, but to rest and have fun.
A boarding house is a holiday home that combines the features of a hotel (high level of comfort) and a sanatorium, since it is possible to agree on additional services with the owners of boarding houses (wellness massages or a jacuzzi and much more).
Pensions in Moscow are in great demand due to their location and a wide selection of services offered.
Features and differences from sanatoriums
Usually boarding houses are located in forest park areas or on the seashore, near major resorts. The main criterion for choosing a place is the presence of picturesque landscapes and, of course, clean air. Unlike sanatoriums, boarding houses do not have their own medical base, but they offer interesting excursions and tours of city attractions. And if the boarding house is located near the mountains, then a trip to the picturesque mountain peaks is provided to you.
If we talk about the capital's boarding houses, then many of them are in the immediate suburbs. Typically, boarding houses in Moscow and the Moscow Region are two- or three-story houses located in forests. They have many separate rooms with all amenities, the territory is fenced and is guarded. You can book a suite or a standard room, the difference is that the class A rooms are equipped with eco-furniture, air conditioning, a refrigerator and a Jacuzzi.
Pensions for the elderly
Due to various life circumstances, in Moscow and other large cities, not everyone can afford to be around the clock with their aged parents or grandparents. For many, the solution to this problem is turning to nursing homes, where they take full care of the elderly.
For some reason, in Russia, the level of service in nursing homes does not reach European standards, so it is considered somewhat embarrassing to leave parents in a nursing home. In this case, the ideal way out is pensions for the elderly. Moscow has a very wide selection of such institutions, so everyone will find what suits him both in quality and in cost. Let's see which metropolitan establishments have a good reputation.
The best pensions
In Moscow, their number is much smaller than in the region. This is due to the large technical workload of the capital, in which the noise from cars does not stop for a minute. However, those boarding houses that are available in the metropolis are indeed the standard of a true comfortable stay with all amenities. So, here is a list of the best pensions for the elderly in Moscow:

The quality of care for the elderly is controlled by Rospotrebnadzor, so there is nothing to fear. Each guest house determines the cost of its services on its own, however, there are factors that determine prices. For example, in the "Care" boarding house, the wards do daily gymnastics with a professional trainer, so the cost of living in it costs a little more.

Secondly, the availability of various amenities in the room. Typically, standard rooms are 2- or 4-seater, and "luxury" can accommodate one person. The rooms always have the necessary amenities: a bed, an armchair, a washbasin, a toilet, a small closet, air conditioning and a TV. The cost of living starts from 1000 rubles per day.
