Yet another pic that could be from "Snake Pit" Mr. Motts, if you haven't seen that movie, I would highly recommend it. That goes for everyone.

I agree the baseboards are meant to keep carts and gurneys away from the wall to keep from damaging the plaster. I painted a hospital once and noticed that the architects took protection of the wall structure quite seriously, with metal corners and the like.

pollo,

Ha! We were just discussing that very thing at work this week because there is a gentleman who uses a wheelchair who sometimes unintentionally runs into other folks who live here. He truly has no concept that he can hurt them and they can't get the concept that they cannot co-exist in the same space as another person, so people get tangled up and we have the occasional injury. The whole process occurs at such a slow pace that you would think it could be caught, but that's why it's tough to see - it goes TOO slowly. Someone is tangled up all of the sudden and down they go. We discussed getting a "back up" beeping device like trucks have and attach it to his chair when he backs up because that's when he is more likely to nail people. When we thought it through, however, we realized that the increased noise level would make everyone's life intolerable and probably increase the number of accidents due to stress alone. I wish we had a sensor that made a low sound every time he's within a foot of someone, however. That way staff could be alerted and keep an eye on the interactions before someone gets knocked down. :-(

Lynne, funny story, I had a client in an electric wheelchair. Every time one of the staff had their back turned working with someone else she would run them down. In the end we had a mainenence man tinker with her chair and make it so that it just wasn't so darn silent. It at least gave the staff a chance to duck and cover when they heard her coming! ;)

Anyone notice that the repeated pattern is similar to the entrance door to the ward?
