Hey Motts--- Great set coming from my home town- I drive near this location everyday to get to work. I think there used to be more worker's homes (a complete neighborhood) around the complex, but from what I understand they tore them down a few years ago. Great set as usual and appreciate your work.

Thanks so much Pegasus! It wasnt till you mentioned it that i saw the Door! Duh! Now, i see exactly how it operated. :)

Psych patients are no longer "rehabed" . The treatment is now more patient-focused and recovery based...

It isn't for hydrotherapy, it is a whirlpool tub. The person is put in through the door on the side, the tub is then reclined so that the person is lying back and mostly covered with water. The jets are turned on and there is a soap that can be added so the person is cleaned. It can be hard to reach everywhere to clean, so the whirlpool action is to help with the cleansing. When they were done with their bath, the tub was moved into the upright position, the water drained, the door opened and the resident taken out. The tubs run about $10,000, plus the lift to get the patient in and out.

I love the old fire bell on the wall.

The incontinence treatment room......

Maybe one of the patients mistook a bowling ball for a basket ball.

That thing on the ground looks llike a hand that has just escaped.

My entering that area would be futile.

I want one.

Thanks again Mr Motts for a pleasant afternoon.

Makes you wonder, if you went back in 10 years,would they still be there?

Who knows,it could be fun?

Same thought went thru my mind,Joe

I'll bet they are close to a size 12
