Alternative tags

social_facility=group_home, then further tagging the target group. If you know a nursing home still tagged group home, better fitting the definition above, please migrate the tag tosocial_facility=nursing_home. Please check each case individually, automated edits are discouraged.
social_facility=group_home
- While this page describes the more recent approach of sub-tagging nursing homes as social facilities, an older first-level tag is still found in the database:
amenity=nursing_home.
