Of course, its forerunners appeared centuries ago as the hospital, the ""wayhouse,"" the sanitorium, and ""almshouse."" With the coming of Medicare and Medicaid, the nursing home is now undergoing a period of definition in which its utilization in comprehensive health-care planning is being established. More important, however, from the fact of the existence of the nursing home, is the integration of its potential in the thinking of the aged.
