Word home has a wide range of meanings: where you live at a particular time; dwelling: housing that someone is living in; the country or state or city where you live; an environment offering affection and security; an institution where people are cared for; family: a social unit living together; relating to or being where one lives or where one's roots are; place where something began and flourished; to the fullest extent; to the heart; the entry point into the pages of a Web site.

While a house (or other residential dwelling) 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, or a time rather than a place. 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 facility, etc.), a foster home, etc. We also know that there exist cultures like nomadic people, lacking fixed homes, often moving their homes from place to place.
