Lilavati Hindu Sanitorium was built almost a 100 years ago in Deolali by the Kothari family in the loving memory of a family member who passed away at a tender age. Chosen for its comparatively milder and healthful climate, the natural beauty of Sahyadri range and Godavari river and accessibility from the megapolis of Mumbai, Deolali has long enjoyed a reputation as a place for convalescents.The rejuvenating environment of Deolali and the peaceful setting of the Sanitorium helped make it a place of frequent visits by the entire Kothari family.
Eventually the Trustees decided to dedicate the Sanitorium for the health and well-being of the general public and offer the serene premises at an economical rate to those looking for a healthful environment to recover from illness or general stress and wear tear of life. Deolali’s dry climate is beneficial for those with breathing ailments and the Neem trees planted on the grounds of the Sanatorium further add to the therapeutic quality of the environs. In the form of the LIlavati Sanatorium, the Kothari family has upheld the legacy of their forefathers for over a century and continues to support the trust and manage it.
The public-spiritedness of the trustees has resulted in a refurbished and comfortable accommodation being available for all amidst the beauty of nature. The focus of the Sanatorium is senior citizens and it is particularly geared towards their needs and comforts, including healthy meals and access to the healing outdoors.
