A good question, as all nuns belong to religious orders of one kind or another- there are no secular, or unattached, nuns. They reside in a Convent, as it is generally called in the US. The Convent is attached to the parish or diocese or may be owned directly by the Religious order, as is the large establishment of the College of Saint Elizabeth in Convent Station, this includes a college campus, many administrative buildings, in-house health care facilities, and on the end stage- mortuary chapels and a cemetery- so the whole life pattern unfolds. this is called a Motherhouse and is a general headquarters for the Religious Order in a state, County , etc. All Motherhouses are a species of convent, but not all convents are Motherhouses. The Motherhouses belong to the religious order- such as the Sisters of Charity of St.Elizabeth, in the case described.
