Choosing a Nursing Home in Istanbul: A Guide for Kadıköy and the Surrounding Area

The most important thing to pay attention to when looking for a nursing home in Istanbul, especially on the Anatolian side, is the institution’s proximity to public transport, the uninterrupted availability of its expert nursing-doctor staff, and whether it is the head office branch. GAYA Huzurevi in Kadıköy Kozyatağı is our branch that fully meets all three of these criteria as well as the general selection criteria, located in one of the Anatolian side’s central locations.

Why Aren’t General Criteria Enough When Looking for a Nursing Home in Istanbul?

In an earlier article, we covered the 10 general criteria to pay attention to when choosing a care home: licensing, hygiene, expert staff and so on. In a large, high-traffic city like Istanbul, in addition to these criteria, the transportation infrastructure of the district where the institution is located directly affects your decision. Having to travel from one end of the city to the other for a visit can reduce your visiting frequency over time.

Why Kadıköy and Kozyatağı?

Kozyatağı is a central location close to densely populated districts of the Anatolian side such as Kadıköy, Ataşehir and Maltepe, supported by metro and Marmaray connections. This means our branch can be reached in a reasonable time from almost anywhere on the Anatolian side; without having to place your loved one in a far-away area, you can access reliable care at a distance you can visit frequently.

GAYA Huzurevi’s Istanbul Branch Is the Head Office

Our head office branch, where GAYA Huzurevi’s management team is also located, is this branch in Kadıköy Kozyatağı. This means it’s the location where all of the institution’s decisions and quality standards are directly shaped, and therefore where our over 25 years of experience is felt most intensely. From Alzheimer’s and dementia care to palliative care, from physiotherapy to 24/7 nurse and doctor monitoring, you can access all 13 different services from this branch.

Also an Option for Families from the European Side?

Thanks to Kozyatağı’s Marmaray connection, our branch is also within reach for families living on the European side but looking for a reliable institution on the Anatolian side. This offers an important advantage especially for families whose loved one has an existing treatment relationship with a doctor or healthcare institution on the Anatolian side.

Visit Before You Decide

Rather than evaluating any institution only through its website, we recommend visiting it in person. By visiting our Kadıköy branch, you can meet our expert team and see the living spaces in person; you can also review the real experiences shared on GAYA Huzurevi’s Google Business Profile.
