nursing homes and care homes Explanation: I'd go for care homes. In a care home, you'll have your own "flat" (a sitting room and a bedroom, a tiny kitchen and a bathroom), while in a nursing home you'll have to share a room with 3 to 5 other patients. In a nursing home are patients, in a care home there are residents. Huge difference! Reference: http://www.riccallhouse.co.uk/about.html |

nursing homes and sheltered housing Explanation: You could also use the term "convalescent home" . Sheltered housing is frequently associated with retirement homes caring for the elderly. Sheltered housing offers meals as necessary and other assistance. Convalescent homes offer post hospital care when a return home is not possible. |
