Medical - Medical: Health Care
English term or phrase: residential home
Even with outside help, the situation often becomes increasingly difficult to cope with in the family home and it may then be necessary for the person to be looked after in a residential home, where they can receive around-the-clock care.

Vårdhem???

vårdhem
Explanation:
Det har du rätt i, särskilt i detta fallet, med dygnet runt vård.
Annars kan residential homes också vara äldreboende med tillgång till personal dygnet runt.

Ni har ju rätt båda två, men eftersom det i denna text gällde svårt förvirrade, dementa patienter som behövde ständig passning, så passade ändå vårdhem bäst. Tack för hjälpen Anette och Erika!

Vårdhem/gruppboende/serviceboende


Explanation:
Jag antar att du kan använda vårdhem för att beskriva sådana institutioner utanför Sverige. De är ju under avveckling i Sverige, åtminstone för utecklingsstörda och psykiskt handikappade. Nu slussas sådana personer ut till gruppboende (små lägenheter eller rum med kokvrå och badrum med gemensamma lokaler och personal dygnet runt) eller serviceboenden (lägenheter med möjligheter till kontakt med vårdpersonal i anslutande lokaler). Sedan finns det ju också äldreboende som fungerar på ungefär samma sätt som gruppboenden för utvecklingsstörda.
