What is Home?


Model homes in Sacramento.

The word "home" can be used for various types of residential community institutions in which people can live, such as nursing homes, group homes orphanages for children, retirement homes for seniors, prisons for criminals, treatment facilities, etc., and foster homes.

Since it can be said that humans are generally creatures of habit, the state of a person's home has been known to physiologically influence their behavior, emotions, and overall mental health.

This category is for various types of places intended for human residence, as opposed to and often in addition to e.g., places of work, study, or entertainment. The term habitat comes from ecology, and includes many interrelated features, especially the immediate physical environment, the urban environment or the social environment.
At the individual and family levels, one's habitat is one's home and the buildings in which one goes about daily life.
