DEFINITION

Home is place where a Person lives, perhaps spends much of their time, or where a person is comfortable to be. While a House (or other Residential Dwelling ) is often referred to as a home, the concept of "home" is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of Refuge and Safety , where worldly cares fade, with things and people one Love s becoming the focus.

The word "home" is also used for various residential Institution s which aspire to create a home-like atmosphere, such as a Retirement Home , a Nursing Home , a 'group home' (an Orphanage for children or a retirement home for adults), a Foster Home , etc.
