sick room
Where patients rest
A sick room is a room set aside for someone who is ill, typically in a home or school rather than a hospital.
The term evokes an older era when convalescence happened at home under family care: She spent two weeks confined to the sick room with scarlet fever.
Also spelled as one word: sickroom.
