Hoolduseasutus is an Estonian term that translates to "care institution" or "nursing home." It refers to a facility that provides residential care and support services for individuals who require assistance with daily living due to age, illness, disability, or other health-related conditions. These institutions are designed to offer a safe and supportive environment where residents can receive personalized care, medical attention, and social engagement.

The services provided by a hoolduseasutus can vary widely depending on the needs of the residents and the specific type of institution. Generally, they include accommodation, meals, personal care such as bathing and dressing, medication management, and assistance with mobility. Many facilities also offer therapeutic activities, social programs, and recreational opportunities aimed at improving residents' quality of life and promoting their well-being.

Hoolduseasutused cater to a diverse range of individuals, including the elderly who may be experiencing cognitive decline or physical limitations, people with chronic illnesses, and individuals with disabilities. The level of care can range from basic assistance with daily tasks to more intensive medical and nursing support. The goal is to provide a continuum of care that adapts to the changing needs of the residents.

Admission to a hoolduseasutus is typically based on an assessment of an individual's care needs. These institutions are regulated by the state to ensure that they meet specific standards for safety, quality of care, and resident rights. Families often play a significant role in the decision-making process and in supporting their loved ones residing in these facilities.
