care facilities
Places providing assistance
Care facilities are establishments that provide supervised living arrangements, medical attention, or personal assistance to people who cannot fully care for themselves.
The term encompasses nursing homes, assisted living centers, rehabilitation facilities, and residential treatment centers.
After her stroke, we had to find a care facility that could handle her physical therapy needs.
The phrase often carries undertones of institutional care as distinct from home-based support.
