养老院在英语中被称为 "nursing home"。这个词源自拉丁语，"nursing" 指哺育和护理，"home" 指住所，因此 "nursing home" 意为专门提供护理和照顾的住所。例如：

My grandmother is living in a nursing home because she can no longer take care of herself.

Many nursing homes provide a range of services, including medical care, therapy, and social activities.

The nursing home where my grandfather lives has a beautiful garden where residents can spend time outdoors.
