nursing facility
Long-term care residence
A nursing facility is an institution providing extended medical care and daily assistance to people who cannot care for themselves, typically the elderly or those with chronic illnesses.
The term is often interchangeable with nursing home, though nursing facility sometimes carries a more clinical or regulatory tone: Medicare covers stays in a skilled nursing facility after hospitalization.
