Yeah. It's just a bed. I think it may be how the pillow is placed that would be giving someone a bad feeling about this bed. I dunno. It's just the first thing I noticed and I did not like it there at all.

i've seen quite a few beds in the complex, and all of them have that welcoming "come take a load off while ii drive this nail into your spine" kind of feeling to them... don't you think motts?

I think adjustment capability, rolling wheels, and guardrails make for a pretty decent bed actually!

What's that weird winch thing sticking out at the end of the bed towards us? it freaks me a bit.

It's a crank that moves the bedframe into an upright position.

That crank on the end of the bedframe, although I know it was used for an innocent fuction, gives me the heebie-jeebies. It makes me think of ancient dental tools that resemble torture devices more than they do therapeutic instruments.

first of all, motts, all of your photos are amazing.

it strikes me how the pillow is in such better shape than the bed.

Oh my. The conditions of this house. It's just so sad that they treated these people like this. They deserved better. Many were just stuck in their beds unable to walk. If the children bit someone more then three times they had all of their teeth pulled. It's truly sad and makes me want to cry. It's frightening what they did here. I am glad we are much more civilized today to know better...

Well, the place had been closed for 18 years, exposed to extreme cold, heat, moisture, etc., so it didn't look this bad when it was in use. :-)

Very sad to know what went on in these beds. Children were often strapped to their beds for acting out.
