: For info: Interestingly, in the UK at least, an elderly person can be in a "Care Home" with a mental disorder e.g. senile dementia. But we do not call it a home for the mentally ill as Care Homes/Nursing Homes can receive all sorts, depending...

Roberto, that's quite all right. I am going through a number of definitions of "nursing home" online, and I am going to post one above. True, nursing homes do take care of chroniclly ill - so, some may be equipped to care for mentally ill also - Mike :)

Diana Sofía, a "nursing home" is not only for the eldely in the U.S. Quite often, when someone is young, usually an adult, at least 18 years old, if they suffer from certain conditions, including mental disabilities, they are in a nursing home. - Mike :)

old age home
En el mundo hispano hablante, una casa de reposos es donde los ancianos o desvalidos se internan, casi siempre voluntariamente, para pasar el resto de sus vidas en un ambiente donde son cuidados y donde tienen atención todo el tiempo.
No es una institución mental.

residential care facility
Just throwing in my $0.02. I like Mike's answer, but nursing/convalescent does imply care for the elderly in particular.
A nice generic term used a lot in the U.S. is "residential care facility." This includes all types of medical/psychiatric care facilities where patients live full time and only require a basic level of medical care. That inclues psychiatric facilites as well as convalescent homes. The medical staff is usually comprised of nursing assistants or technicians, with a registered nurse in charge of medications. Physicians and psychologists generally are only available on an on-call basis or for scheduled visits and group activities.
SaludoZ!

Discussion
On Spanish (Spain) pages I have found references to "casas de reposo" which seem to be a sort of health farm/spa and from what I gather and these clinics offer treatments for a range of conditions, such as chronic bronchitis, arthritis, and nervous disorders.
Example:
http://ditec.um.es/~javiercm/enclave/casasde1.htm
Deseas regalarte unos días de vacaciones para cuidar tu salud de manera integral: Lugares para renovar tu energía vital. Mediante una alimentación sana y combinada adecuadamente, ejercicio físico apropiado, sol, aire puro, sana relación con la gente, diferentes técnicas de desarrollo personal, paseos, masajes,... volverás a recuperar la Energía Vital que es la que, en definitiva, proporciona la autocuración del propio cuerpo, la verdadera SALUD. También podrás practicar ayunos depurativos.
However, this may be different in Latin America so I appreciate your feedback.
I've found a document from Peru on the Internet and it would appear that, in this particular case, "Casa de reposo" is a home for the elderly:
http://www.espejodelperu.com.pe/ca/per-ale/Beneficencia/Visi...
En resumen la seguridad, cariño y calor de hogar que existe allí, hacen de la Casa de Reposo de la Beneficencia Peruano Alemana un lugar de estadía agradable, que ofrece para las personas de la tercera edad la atención deseada
