A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital but can't be cared for at home. Most nursing homes have nursing aides and skilled nurses on hand 24 hours a day. Some nursing homes are set up like a hospital. The staff provides medical care, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapy. There might be a nurses' station on each floor. Other nursing homes try to be more like home. They try to have a neighborhood feel.
Nursing homes are more often run by charitable organizations, and don't provide the full spectrum of care that a skilled nursing facility does. Shukitis gives an example in: the sisters of nursing home, which is run by nuns.
