Post Up Your Historical Photos!

I don't know why finding photos of patients outside doing something other then being miserable are so hard to find, strange.

Good point about the elderly patients. Most were "warehoused" there since their families didn't want to take them in. Going through death certificates after the 1940s, most deaths were patients over the age of 65 & had been in a state hospital for many years. It is still a problem today with most nursing homes not having open beds or the patient only having Medic-care & limiting their choices, especially if they have dementia or Alzheimer's. There's probably 20-25 at ESH only because they have no other place to go or are waiting for an opening at the VA.
