nursing home is for elderly and disabled people that need professional care 24/7. hospice is for someone that’s near-death to make it easier for them.

Nursing homes are where the patient lives in a hospital type setting with constant care. Hospice is a group of professional nurses and caregivers visiting the patients home and administering care in their final days.
