"Convalescent home (nursing home)" means an institution, which is advertised, announced, or maintained for the express or implied purpose of providing nursing or convalescent care for persons unrelated to the licensee. A convalescent home is a home for chronic or nursing patients who, on admission, are not as a rule, acutely ill or who do not usually require special facilities, such as an operating room, X-ray facilities, laboratory facilities, and obstetrical facilities.
