motts should look here cuz its umm pretty cool and umm like abandoned. holyoke mass.

They have "practice" mini apartments in many rehab facilities (I'm only familiar with the ones where physical rehab takes place). It helps people get used to everyday living from their new perspective (many times from a wheelchair)

glendale hospital is a cool place

Looks like a quite sturdy piece of equipment.

I visited my uncle there back in the 1950's when I was 12 or so. As we approached the building I saw a man walking in continual circles and wondered what in the world was that about..... My uncle was hidden away there from the rest of the family - my mother never told me where we were going, only that we were going to see my "uncle". We brought him a fruit and candy basket. We sat down with him and he made almost no eye contact; just kept eating what was in the basket, as if he thought someone else might get it if he didn't eat it all. I remember thinking I'd never seen anyone eat 3 rolls of Lifesavers in a row....I was able to get a copy of his medical records and thankfully it looks like nothing horrid was done to him. In retrospect, the man was probably autistic or learning disabled, and for that he spent a lifetime in an insane asylum. He was cast out into a nursing home when Met State closed.

I noticed the TP on the floor too, was this hallway near the room of bedside commodes?

Looks like an old crank style bed, and the winders are gone.

It sorta does look like Gacy-any way of telling if this is an original to the hospital painting or just more graffitti?

i have cp and can not afford a stander and it makes my sick to see all this just sitting there.You got people that really could use it.

Actually, for a basement, it doesn't look too bad, really.

No one mentioned the lone chair....

What sort of county records? Who runs your county?

It was probably a specially made headrest for an individual, probably someone who needs head/neck support.

It is a shame that all of these things go to waste. Imagine the archaeologists of the future...what will they say about us?

great pic
