SANYSOL, THE BEST PLACE TO RECOVER

TORRE DEL MAR There are many advantages to getting older: experience, knowl- edge or freedom. However, it’s true that recovering from inju- ries or illnesses gets a bit trickier and more complicated for older people. Yet there are specialised centres like Sanysol to make this recovery a simple, comfortable process “from the hospital to the home”. Located in Torre del Mar, just minutes from the motorway, this home specialising in caring for the elderly offers a temporary stay service with medical assistance and rehabilitation specially fo- cused on helping patients recover after operations or illnesses. All with the best facilities and excel- lent care with painstaking atten- tion to detail to make patients feel at home. That’s why Sanysol is so much more than just a home for the elderly. The centre has a profes- sional, multi-disciplinary team in charge of turning recovery pe- riods into pleasant stays during which guests can recover and get better in happy, healthy surround- ings.
