Recently we have discovered (in a thread on the Italian ML), that someone has deprecated amenity=nursing_home by putting a disclaimer on the wikipage [1] to use
amenity=social_facility social_facility=group_home because the tags are newer. >From my understanding, these are different things, where a nursing home is a place for people in need of permanent care (maybe in groups but more likely not), while group_home is a very specific kind of structure for which (small) groups (of the people to be looked after) are necessarily required. Some nursing homes might also be group homes, but not all of them are (and there don't seem to be social facility tags to cover all nursing home instances, likely on purpose, because there is already an established nursing home tag). [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dnursing_home What do you say, shouldn't we remove this disclaimer from the nursing home page and shall we continue to encourage the use of the tag amenity=nursing_home where it applies to? Cheers, Martin
