Nursing home

A nursing home, convalescent home, skilled nursing facility, care home, rest home or intermediate care provides a type of residential care. It is a place of residence for people who require continual nursing care and have significant difficulty coping with the required activities of daily living. Nursing aides and skilled nurses are usually available 24 hours a day. Residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities.

Some nursing homes assist people with special needs, such as Alzheimer patients. Residents may have specific legal rights depending on the nation in which the facility is located.
