HOTEL „ZLATNIK“ POSTAJE DOM ZA STARE

Beogradski hotel „Zlatnik“ ponovo otvara svoja vrata, ali sada za nove goste - one koji žele da u njemu žive kao kod kuće, a uživaju kao u hotelu. Nakon 37 godina uspešnog rada, više od 2.5 miliona usluženih gostiju, pet zvezdica i brojnih priznanja za srpski brend poznatiji kao hotel “Zlatnik”, porodica Vuletić najavljuje novi projekat koji su brižljivo pripremali proteklih godinu dana – otvaraju Dom za negu odraslih i starijih lica „Zlatnik“.

Nije novina da su hoteli širom sveta počeli da menjaju namenu, jer su posledice pandemije dugoročno neizvesne. Mnogi hoteli u Beogradu su svoje prostorije pretvorili u „opan space“ kancelarije, a preduzetnički duh porodice Vuletić je odlučio da hotelu „Zlatnik“ promeni namenu, tako da će on od sada biti dom za treće doba, s ponosom najavljuju Vuletići.

Uzimajući u obzir ponudu srodnih postojećih domova, a verujući da je budućnost drugačija, u „Zlatniku“ žele da ponude nešto posebno. Žele da, kao što je nekada ovo bio najbolji hotel, sada bude najbolji dom, lider u branši. Ne žele da se u njihovom objektu stanari osećaju kao u staračkom domu, već zaista kao u hotelu sa pet zvezdica. Hotelski kompleks od 3.000 m2 sada je u potpunosti prilagođen novim stanarima budućeg Doma za negu odraslih i starijih lica koji je ispunio sve uslove i dobio licencu za novu delatnost. Svih 50 soba (jednokrevetne, dvokrevetne i trokrevetne) opremljene su stilskim nameštajem uz brigu o svakom detalju, a osam soba sa velikim kupatilom je u potpunosti prilagođeno stanarima (osobama u kolicima) kojima je potreban najveći stepen podrške. Dom može da primi do 100 korisnika, a radi lakše adaptacije na novi prostor u prvim danima omogućen je i boravak nekog od srodnika, dok je za rođake iz inostranstva obezbeđen apartman u kome mogu da odsednu na 10 do 15 dana.  

„Osim ordinacije, apoteke, sale za fizikalnu terapiju i prostorije za vežbanje, objekat ima i veliku zajedničku terasu za odmor i druženje, biblioteku, umetničku radionicu, bioskop i pozorišnu binu, ali i slanu sobu, prostor za wellness program, frizerski salon i pedikir. U ovom domu sva jela se mese, kuvaju i spremaju sveže. Ovde nema zamrznute hrane ili dostave, a korisnici mogu da pripremaju obroke, omiljene kolače ili zimnicu sa svojim kuvarima. „To im je u isto vreme uživanje i radna terapija“,  ističe upravnica Doma Radmila Getman.
