NURSING HOME means a licensed establishment which provides full-time convalescent or chronic care or both for three or more individuals who are not related by blood or marriage to the operator and who, by reason of chronic illness or infirmity, are unable to care for themselves. No care for the acutely ill, nor surgical, nor obstetrical services shall be provided in a NURSING HOME. A hospital or sanitarium shall not be considered to be included in this definition.
