| санаторий | sanatorium |
| А санаторий is closest to what would be called a rest home. People go there more for reasons of health than for recreation — for mud baths, mineral waters, and the like. Those who require special medical care are also sent to a sanatorium, usually no less than for 26 days. | |
| дом отдыха | house of rest |
| А дом отдыха is not what is meant by a rest home, nor is it really comparable to our resorts. One does not go there for reasons of health; one is sent there on vacation as a reward for having done a good job. It differs from a resort in that activities are regulated: meals, exercise and rest periods and bedtime all take place at specified times. А дом отдыха is usually attended for 12 or 24 days. | |

| дача | country house, summer house |
