An infirmary is a facility which cares for people who are sick, injured, or infirm. The capabilities of an infirmary vary: some are set up like hospitals, capable of treating a wide range of conditions, while others provide more simple and basic medical care. When the term “infirmary” is used, most people think of a facility which offers a very simple level of care, like a nurse's office in a school, although some of the most famous hospitals in the world are also known as infirmaries, which can be confusing.
