DIRECTORY OF HOMES FOR THE AGED IN THE UNITED STATES
T
HE Bureau of Labor Statistics has recently made a statistical
study of the care of the aged in the United States, one part
of which dealt with old peopled homes. From all sources
possible the bureau was able to obtain the names of some 1,300
such homes, and detailed data were obtained from more than 1,000
of these. The results of this study are embodied in Bulletin No.
489 of this bureau.
^
The directory which follows lists the homes in alphabetical order,
Dy States, giving for those homes which furnished reports to
the bureau the name of the organization which sponsors or controls
the home and the various entrance requirements. No claim as to
absolute completeness is made for this directory, and the bureau
will appreciate being apprised of any home for old people not on
the list.
The statement below shows the number of homes sponsored by
each type of organization and the number from which detailed reports
were received by the bureau:

Generally the first qualification required for entrance is that the
applicant be a member of the sponsoring group. Thus, to gain
admittance into the church homes the candidate must generally be a
member of the denomination (or sometimes of the local church)
which supports the home; if the home is one of a fraternal organiza
tion, he must belong to the order, etc. On the other hand some of
these church groups are remarkably liberal in this respect, opening
their doors to the poor and infirm aged of whatever creed. Only
Revised lists from four States brought the final total of homes to 1,323, all of which are here listed.

DIRECTORY OF HOMES FOR THE AGED IN UNITED STATES
honorably discharged soldiers or sailors (and in some cases their
wives or widows), of course, are eligible for residence in the soldiers*
homes.
Character qualifications are a very general requirement. Persons
seeking admission to the home must be “respectable,’’ “of good
moral character,” or “Christian character,” or of good reputation.
Several of the homes require references on this point. Temperate
habits are a universal requirement.
Good health is also a general requisite, most of the homes requiring
that the applicant be in fairly good health, taking into consideration
his age, and free from mental, contagious, or malignant disease.
In some instances a physician’s certificate to this effect is required.
This is done because the homes hesitate to admit persons who, from
the outset, will need constant attention and nursing. In case of
illness after entering the institution, the home usually provides the
physician and nursing.
The old ladies seem to be much better provided for than the old
men. Of the 1,034 homes reporting on this point, women are ad
mitted to all but 59; in fact 328 homes admit women only. The
59 above noted are restricted to men. Inasmuch as separation of
aged couples is a special hardship to those who have spent their
lives together, it is interesting to see that 608 homes, or nearly 60
per cent, admit not only both sexes but married couples as well.
Sixty-five years is the minimum age of admission most commonly
set, followed by 60 years. Two homes set the age limit as low as 45
years and one home as high as 80 years, while 250 have no fixed age
limit.
In general these homes are maintained for aged persons either with
no means or with incomes insufficient for their full support. Some of
the homes, notably those of the labor and fraternal organizations,
even declare that none shall be admitted except those who are indi
gent and unable, by reason of age, illness, or infirmity, to support
themselves.
Nearly half of the homes (479) require no admission fee; 108 of
these, however, are boarding homes of private groups or are miscella
neous organizations in which the resident pays a weekly or monthly
charge for board. Even allowing for these, more than 35 per cent of
the whole group require no money of the applicant. Of those which
do require the payment of a specified amount at time of entrance,
$500 is the most common sum required, but about 20 per cent charge
less than this amount and about 40 per cent charge less than $1,000.
Since the home which admits life residents contracts in considera
tion for this fee to furnish the resident with board, lodging, and laundry
for the rest of his life in all instances, and often as a matter of fact
furnishes medical care, nursing, and burial, it is at once evident that
the entrance fee by no means covers the actual cost to the home.
The resident may live only one or two years after admission. On the
other hand, he may live for 15 or 20 years. In order to cover some of
the margin between fee income and obligations assumed, it is a general
practice of these homes to require the incoming resident to transfer
to the home all (or a specified part) of such income or properly as he
possesses and to bind himself to turn over also any of which he may
become possessed in the future. In return the home may undertake
DIRECTORY OF HOMES FOR THE A.GED IN UNITED STATES

to pay to the resident as long as he lives all or part of the income from
such property or a certain rate of interest upon it.
Although charging an admission fee in ordinary cases, a large num
ber of homes nevertheless accept persons without means, who fulfill
all the other conditions, up to the limit of the resources of the home.
As would be expected, nationality requirements are more common
among the homes maintained by the various nationality groups than
among those sponsored by the other types of organizations, just as
religious requirements are most common in the church homes. Amer
ican citizenship is a fairly common requirement, and among the pri
vate benevolent homes residence in the city or county for a specified
time.
The requirements as to personal property and clothing vary. Some
homes require that the incoming resident be equipped with sufficient
clothing to last for a year or two, and the fraternal homes quite
generally require that clothing sufficient to last two years be furnished
by the local lodge of which the resident was a member. Other homes
furnish all clothing from the time the guest begins his stay at the
home.
