Home is a place where a person, family, or group of people live together

While a house (or other residentiaI dweIIing) is often referred to as a "home", the concept of home is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade and the things and people that one loves becomes the focus. Many people think of home in terms of where they grew up, and "home" can even be a time rather than a place.[1] The word "home" is also used for various residential institutions which aspire to create a home-like atmosphere, such as a retirement home, a nursing home, a group home (an orphanage for children, a retirement home for adults, a treatment faciIity, etc.), a foster home, etc.

There are cultures which Iack fixed homes, with nomadic people often moving their homes from pIace to pIace.

In internet and computer terms, a home is where you start, before you branch off into other tasks, eg. a Home Page, or a computer's desktop. This is sometimes also known as a start page. Many home pages on the internet start with basic information, latest news, and links to its subpages.
