When I look at photos like this I always wonder if the person that last touched the object had any idea that it would never be used again.

I'm struck by the contrasting textures of the fluffy pillow, soft blanket and crunchy paint chips...

I work in an institution and the floor above my office hasn't had folks living up there for about 10 years and it's every bit as bad as this right up there because all the windows aren't sealed. Sometimes us lower floor luckies get the peeling pain effect from leaks and such (it's also quite humid here). Luckily we have a great new maintenance director who took care of the leaks so now the paint stays on our walls, but only on the floors where there is climate control. Surprisingly, it really doesn't take long for a place to look this bad.

It is kind of thought provoking: did the person who made the bed get it ready for a patient who never arrived?
Kinda spooky.

Why?

What a rare find! A 'freshly' made bed, with the side rail in position, just waiting for the next patient.. The pillow is still fluffed and the linen virtually wrinkle free. There is a sign on the wall. I wonder what it says.

This time capsule is so sad, so lonely.

This is amazing! I have never seen a pic that brought so much perspective to life. I have to wonder not who made the bed up for the last time but who sleept in that bed the last time. That person woke and no one ever laid back in it.

i think what makes this sort of picture so haunting for me, is that i dont understand how so much gets left behind.

amazing...simply amazing

I Agree anna

I wonder why when they close a building, they don't take all this stuff out of it, at least to sell at an auction or something, rather then let it rot in the building for years...

What's the big white panel above the bed for? Viewing X-rays? Dry erase board?

its a shame all the stuff that is left behind to rot in these buildings with the same fate as their innards. very sad and wasteful, this stuff could be donated to shelters or something. The paperwork is a major HIPAA violation, that stuff should be destroyed to protect privacy of the patients.

Sadly, my grandfather was a patient here in 1981. By that time it had been turned into a nursing facility. I remember going to visit him a couple of times. Even took a pic of him and my grams on their 50th wedding anniversary there (albeit in his room). Gramps died here in December.

I remember the rooms having 3 beds...the patients had their own small space with their little bedside stand.usually with drawers...they'd have a family picture on a stand and some other smaller personnel things around but not much......there sure was not alot of privacy except for a curtain that hung from the ceiling.
