nursing home residents
Long-term care patients
People who live in nursing homes—facilities providing long-term care for those unable to live independently, typically the elderly or chronically ill.
The phrase appears frequently in healthcare policy, legal contexts, and news coverage: Nursing home residents were prioritized for early vaccination.
The term emphasizes their status as people with residence rights rather than merely patients receiving treatment.
