In the northern part of the monastery, thanks to the efforts and funding of Anna Yakovlevna Perlova, a two-story brick building of the almshouse was constructed at the end of the 19th century. A church was built in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Relieve My Sorrows," which was consecrated by Kaluga Archbishop Benjamin on October 25 (November 7) 1902. The almshouse housed up to sixty incurably ill women with disabilities. After the closure of the monastery in 1923, the monastery's almshouse also ceased to exist. The church was desecrated and partially destroyed, and various secular institutions were placed in its premises and the almshouse.

With the revival of monastic life in the monastery, the church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Relieve My Sorrows" was the first to be restored and consecrated on May 27, 1990. A few years later, the almshouse began to function again. Currently, about 30 elderly nuns live there, many of whom have survived the difficult war years and times of persecution for their faith. These elderly residents worked in the monastery for many years, and now, when they have become frail, other sisters lovingly care for them, trying to make their last years more comfortable. The cells accommodate one or two people. There is a special room for bedridden patients, where caregivers are on duty around the clock, providing complete care. Weekly services are held in the church of the almshouse, and clergy administer communion to the bedridden sisters right in their cells. The almshouse building is spacious and bright, with high ceilings, cozy, and filled with many living flowers, and there is a front garden with benches for rest in front of the entrance. The almshouse has a small dining room, laundry, and a housekeeper's room. Residents can attend services daily, and they are transported to the church in wheelchairs. For those who cannot attend the church due to health reasons, monastic prayers are read in their cells. Those at the point of death are given the sacrament and often receive Holy Communion. Many sisters have completed their earthly journey, having been granted a peaceful Christian death in the monastery, and a communal prayer is offered for them.
