I believe the answer is:

health spa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'old man better hospital after time admitted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'eal' and 'eal' is present in the answer.
'hospital' could be 'h' (abbreviation for hospital on maps) and 'h' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for health spa that I've seen is " resort".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
