I have come across the word "orphanage" only in some old books and films, or when their plot is set in earlier periods. Is this word still used today for the institutions where children with no parents or whose parents are unable or unwilling to take care of them live or we should always use the term "children's home" instead ?
I'm not sure if there are other terms with the same meaning.
Can we use the term "care home" to refer to this kind of institutions for children, or is it used only to describe a place where old people are looked after?
