The Staraya Russa resort is the oldest resort in Russia and this says a lot. The presence of unique, non-reproducible medicinal waters and mud anywhere in the world makes it the only one for many sufferers. There is simply no such second one. According to the healing properties. You just need to understand that uniqueness does not mean universality. According to the declared profile, they are treated - definitely, but after all, the stage of the disease can be different, and people are waiting for healing as a miracle, although for someone, in principle, it can only be about supporting the current state from possible deterioration or concomitant diseases do not allow using dirt and water in "full force" and only gentle mode. Just focus only on the miracle is not worth it, you need to soberly assess your own condition. But everyone will feel relief! The number of spa and therapeutic procedures offered is simply huge, you get tired of reading the list, although of course this does not mean that they will all be prescribed, there is simply not enough time physically, but the choice is great and this is certainly the merit of both the management and the medical administration and the Resort staff. Thanks! Special thanks are due to the staff working directly with patients: endurance, courtesy and courtesy. Thanks!
Compared to my previous visit 15 years ago, the living conditions have been significantly improved. The rooms have become modern and comfortable! Thanks to the staff of the canteen and catering. The choice of food offered is great, everything is of high quality and varied, although I personally prefer the "old" way of catering - pre-set tables and portioned meals served by waitresses. The buffet system implies more choice, but there is too much hustle and bustle. It is noticeable that it is simply difficult for some elderly people to carry food to the table on their own. And a neatly laid table, forks and spoons laid out in advance, snacks arranged - this is also an element of stylishness, unlike the Brownian running around of patients with plates and glasses... But that's just my point of view.
Accommodation is comfortable. Although you need to understand that there are always people who have a negative "in their head" and who love to find and emphasize inconveniences in life, presenting them as almost a conspiracy of the administration against patients... Well, them...
During the two weeks of my stay, I singled out only one significant general drawback, which may seem insignificant at first: sofas in the halls of water and mud baths! Where patients are waiting in line for procedures... They look decent, leather, presentable, but they are old and frankly prosizhennye (failing) As a result, patients with arthrosis and osteochondrosis fall into them, as into pits, from where it is very difficult to get out and get up, and sitting in such a "pose" it is almost impossible to bend and change shoes... I remember these sofas 15 years ago. Of course, they fell into disrepair for such a period, although, thanks to the wear resistance of the skin, it is not noticeable externally. But falling - falling into such a "trap" you understand right away... Perhaps it is worth replacing them with more modern and physiological furniture, which now has many different styles and materials... Or, at least, to tighten and make more seats more dense...
In general, the impressions of living and treatment are the best!
