the same concept exists in Germany as well (Pflegeheim). Regarding the alternative tagging with amenity=social_facility and social_facility=nursing_home and social_facility:for=* I don't think it is fortunate to retag amenity=nursing_home to amenity=social_facility in order to make it less clear and to require more tags to make any sense of it besides "something somehow related to the concept social". amenity=social_facility is so generic, I propose to discourage its use, because by using the same "amenity" key as some of its "competitors", it leads to tag fragmentation. We would continue to use the keys social_facility=* and social_facility:for=* and if someone really is not interested in the difference between the subclasses but wants the "social" items anyway, they could simply take any value with these keys.
