sanitoriums
Long-term care centers
Sanitoriums is an alternative spelling of sanitariums, both being plural forms for institutions dedicated to treating chronic conditions, particularly tuberculosis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
These facilities typically featured fresh air, rest, and isolation in rural or mountainous settings.
The term now applies more broadly to any residential facility for recuperation or treatment of long-term illness.
The abandoned sanitoriums in the mountains have become popular with urban explorers.
