Cramped

I don't think I could stand being in here for long.

Can you imagine having a room that was only as wide as the bed.........I cant.......or is this just a clever illusion Motts?

anna

You could fit about four of those beds from the back wall to the wall behind the camera in this room, but the width is true to the bed frame. It's small, but not unimaginably tiny, especially if there was little or no furniture other than the bed.

Motts

you can call me insane but i like this room, it seems to be a room at one end of the ward and it has two big windows at both walls and it's much brighter then the others, somehow it gives me some kind of a homy feeling. i would have choosen this room if i had the choice of any of the rooms. :-)

That looks bigger than the bedroom in my first apartment, and (sadly) in better shape too! Lord Motts, I know you must get tired of hearing this, but damn do you know how to take a beautiful picture! No other photographer has ever impressed me like you...

Yeah, this room is definately bigger than my first dorm room in college...

I've slept in smaller spaces...

thas room is exactly as big as my room where i actually live in. but it has two windows, my room has only one, so i would prefer that room with the two windows. but to be honest, the daylight room is my absolute favorite room. hehe

The bed looks wider than than a regular hospital cot. The lyrics "Sleepin' single in a double bed" come to mind.

How sad that must have been for the patient. No matter which side of the bed you got up on..... the room would still be awful.

It's very disturbing that there isn't even a toilet in this room.

Lordy, honey, like there would be room for a toilet? 8`-) Where I work, the majority of folks don't have a toilet in their bedroom.

Hell, the majority of people I know who live in the community don't have a toilet in their bedroom. :-)

Lynne

Most people in the community aren't usually locked in their bedrooms either...

Staycee

Staycee,
Lynne has been working with the mentally impared for years and isn't shy about tearing people apart, try not to provoke her.

Anyways, you aren't locked in a room without a bathroom unless you are in isolation for violent behavior, and even then, they have to give you a bathroom break. This is just an old patient bedroom that was small, like most rooms were at the time. Very few rooms then, including rooms in community homes, had bathrooms attached.

However, I am guessing that if every room had a bathroom, people would think that was weird too.

Sometimes, you're darned if you do and danged if you don't. :-)

Lynne

Staycee,
I could have worded that better, if there is something in these institutions that you don't understand, just ask lynne about it, if she dosn't have the answe she can find it.
If you get the chance, go back and read some of her past comments ( just click on her name in the comments and you can read the ones she posted )

Some of the nursing homes I worked in didnt have bathrooms in the patients rooms either. It was extremely fun trying to carry a steaming bedpan down the hallway and not spill it on yourself. ;-~

anna

"A steaming bedpan"...... yikes I sure wouldn't be cut out for that job!

Motts this does look like a double bed.
