Nursing home care

A nursing home, convalescent home, skilled nursing facility (SNF), care home, rest home or intermediate care provides a type of residential care. It is a place of residence for people who require continual nursing care and have significant difficulty coping with the required activities of daily living. Nursing aides and skilled nurses are usually available 24 hours a day.

Residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Some nursing homes assist people with special needs, such as Alzheimer patients.

Residents may have specific legal rights depending on the nation the facility is in.

History

Before the Industrial Revolution, elderly care was largely in the hands of the family who would support elderly relatives who could no longer do so themselves. Charitable institutions and parish poor relief were other sources of care.

Nursing Home (album)

Nursing Home is the second album by indie rock band Let's Wrestle. It was released on May 16, 2011 on Full Time Hobby, and the following day on Merge Records. It was produced by Steve Albini.

Lyrics

The album's lyrics are consistently clever and witty, and focus on topics such as playing computer games and hanging out with friends. The lyrics are also more self-deprecating and apathetic than those of Let's Wrestle's previous songs.

Critical reception

The album received generally favorable reviews from critics. In a relatively mixed review, Daniel Tebo wrote that "There’s still a lot of fun to be had at this Nursing Home but it’s pretty clear that the party is winding down." In a more positive review, Robert Christgau wrote that in addition to maturing, the members of Let's Wrestle "do what all maturing s.-p.o.w.t.a. [slacker-punks or whatever they are] wish they could do--write better songs."Drowned in Sound's Michael Wheeler awarded the album a score of 8/10 and wrote that the song "For My Mother" was "probably the best and further proof of Let’s Wrestle’s idiot-savant genius."
