养老院在英文中通常被称为 "nursing home" 或者 "elderly care home"。

"Nursing home" 源自于英语中的 "nurse",意为护士,也就是在养老院工作的人员,这些工作人员负责照顾住在养老院的老年人,包括提供生活支持、医疗护理和康复治疗等。

"Elderly care home" 则更强调养老院是专门为老年人提供关怀和照顾的场所。

下面是一些关于养老院的英文例句,并附有中文翻译:

My grandmother is pving in a nursing home because she needs help with daily activities. (我的奶奶住在养老院,因为她需要帮助照顾日常生活。)
The elderly care home provides round-the-clock medical care for its residents. (这家养老院为住户提供全天候的医疗护理。)
Many people choose to move into a nursing home when they can no longer pve independently. (很多人在不能独立生活时会选择搬进养老院。)
