disagree  Andre Damasceno: definition of nursing home: a small private institution for the elderly providing residential accommodation with health care.

  ->  They have a resident NURSE, not a doctor, for emergencies only. There many "nursing homes" near my house here in Florida. A doctor is called in emergency cases, but they don't provide treatment./http://www.casadesaudejoaodedeus.org.br/index.php
