The residential care of the elderly or disabled is provided in a nursing home. A skilled nursing facility or long-term care facility may also be used to refer to a nursing home. These names sometimes have slightly varied connotations depending on whether the facilities are public or private, and if they primarily offer assisted living or nursing care as well as emergency medical treatment. People who do not require hospitalisation but require care that cannot be provided at home go to nursing homes. Depending on their ranks, nursing home facility staff members are responsible for overseeing other employees in addition to providing medical care for patients. A majority of nursing homes have trained nurses and nursing assistants available around-the-clock.
