A care unit is a term used to describe an area or department within a hospital, nursing home, or other healthcare facility that provides medical and nursing care for patients. This can include intensive care units (ICUs), coronary care units, neonatal intensive care units, pediatric intensive care units, and medical wards, among others. The specific services provided in a care unit depend on the type of unit and the needs of the patient population it serves. Care units are staffed by healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, therapists, and other support personnel who work together to provide high-quality care for their patients.
