I know in the rehab hospital where I worked, (and several others) they had some old cars set up for people to learn how to transfer and such, also they would have mini apartments to help people relearn to get around like you were at home.

They hold red plastic bags-one problem with those is the bag is exposed, where it might get torn or a nick which theoretically, would leak the infectious waste product thruout the ward. I'm pretty sure most hospitals have gone to hard plastic red containers. We have similar containers that hold plastic laundry bags tho. Those things are pretty flimsy, too.

Actually, the mattress looks in pretty good shape.

The hospital I work in has a morgue cooler like that, it can ony fit 2 morgue litters.

I would imagine the tile/polished blockwork was not only for practical reasons like ease of cleaning, but also longevity and no need for yearly painting and the like. That would save quitte a few dollars over the life (and death) of the buildings.

Wow, that'd be an awfully hard surface if someone is in seclusion-what if the hit their head off the wall?

Love to have the shelving and the cabinet from the floor above.

Looks like a sealed over fireplace.

Always makes me wonder what actually caused the first break in the flooring (besides the obvious decay of the wood)

Gotta love those tiles, though. They hang tough even with the decay.

I believe Ghost Hunters has investigated at least one place that Motts has photographed-perhaps Essex County? I guess it all depends what you are looking for.

Wow, I've never seen wall /ceiling treatments like this! I imagine it really took some time.

Beautiful woodwork. This would make a great den or home library.

NOt sure what the nails were used for, but I love the glass syringes! I remember using those once (it was in the early 80's) to administer paraldehyde (for intractable seizures in a brain tumor patient). Apparently paraldehyde doesn't agree with plastic syringes.

Perhaps these were just the outside of the tubs. They could have had porcelain tubs fitted inside, probably some sort of whirlpool tub.
