KeywordsNursing homes ; United States of America.
AnnotationThe need to care for dependent older people in the US has been a constant since colonial times, with most care provided by family members. Personal and health services outside the home are sometimes provided by nursing homes. The nursing home industry is large, dominated by private, for-profit ownership, and receives much of its income from public funds, a consequence of US social policy. (RH).
