A nursing home is designed to care for seniors who no longer are able to care for themselves due to chronic illness or disability. Nursing homes are different from assisted living homes, which provide help to seniors in some or all of their daily life activities such as bathing, meal preparation and taking medication, but do not offer round-the-clock medical care.
