The report and revision of our previous directory (published as Bulletin No. 505 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics) were undertaken for the use of the Social Security Board, of social workers dealing with the placement of elderly people, and also of aged persons interested in finding a home. Several States and cities publish directories of social-work agencies (usually including homes for aged) in their jurisdiction, but the present report constitutes the only source of information for the whole United States.

Bulletin 7S£o. 677 o f the U nited States Bureau o f Labor Statistics Homes for Aged in the United States Summary Various means have been resorted to, in the United States as else where, for caring for old people who are without homes or relatives to support them and those who, possessing means, lack the strength or desire to run an establishment of their own. The almshouse has been a traditional way of caring for destitute (or “ paupers” as the phrase formerly was) of all ages. Supported as a public charit}7, the alms house or poor farm has always been regarded by self-respecting in dividuals as a last desperate resort, not to be considered except in extremity, for residence in such an institution generally carried with it a painful social stigma. The almshouse is gradually disappearing in the United States. Several factors have contributed to this. One has been the gradual public realization that, throwing together as it has, healthy indigents with those afflicted with disease of all degrees of severity, sane persons with insane, senile, feeble-minded, and epileptic, and innocent young children with adults of all degrees of moral rectitude or iniquity, the almshouse is socially undesirable. Its inmates often have had only one characteristic in common— that they were destitute. Most States began some years ago to remove the feeble-minded and epileptic to other institutions. Likewise, children have been or are being taken from the poorhouses either to institutions specializing in child care or to foster homes. The system of mother’s pensions that had been growing as a voluntary State measure for a decade or more before the passage of the Federal Social Security Act, received great impetus under that act and hastened the process of removal of children from almshouses. The same act, providing for federally aided State allowances for aged, also had an effect on the elderly population of almshouses. Able-bodied old people whose receipt of the old-age allowance enabled relatives to care for them, or who were able to live independently either alone or in a private boarding home, left the almshouse, and a number of States had at the end of the first 2 years of the operation l 2 HOMES FOR AGED IN THE UNITED STATES' of the social-security system already felt the results. In a number of cases almshouses were closed. In others the dwindling of the ablebodied population, leaving a larger proportion requiring personal or hospital care, has resulted in a tendency either toward conversion of the almshouse into an infirmary or toward the establishment of new centralized institutions to care for ailing aged.1 A third means of care is what are generally termed old people’s homes. Some of these are frankly charitable institutions, toward the support of which the resident contributes nothing. Others are phil anthropic in the sense that, although the guest has contributed either in the form of a fee at time of admission or previously through his dues to the supporting organization, an additional subsidy is neces sary to cover the cost of full support. Such homes are distinguished from the almshouses by the fact that they represent private philan thropy (in which the resident himself may be or have been a con tributor) as contrasted with public charity. Even the few homes which receive some of their support from city or county authorities require fees from the resident and also benefit by funds from private philanthropy. In the case of State soldiers’ homes, no fees are expected from the soldiers therein but shelter is accorded as a recog nition of past services for their country and this is not regarded as charity. Not only does no social stigma attach to residence in an old people’s home, but such is the extent of public acceptance that a large proportion of such homes actually contain one or more guests who are financially able to maintain themselves elsewhere but prefer the care and companionship available in the home. Using the above definition of an “ old people’s home,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1939 made a survey of all such homes in the United States which it was able to discover by careful canvass of all possible sources of information. The returns received indicate that there are at present facilities for over 100,000 old people in 1,428 homes throughout the United States. Comparison of the 1939 returns with the situation in 1929 when a similar study was made 2 indicates that the depression beginning in 1929 had a serious effect on many of the old-established homes, de pendent as many of them were on the incomes from investments. As such investments in many cases yielded little or no return during the depression or became entirely worthless, a considerable number of homes had to be closed; altogether, the returns indicated that 115 homes (or about 8 percent of the total) were forced out of operation. 1 For summaries of findings of studies on composition of almshouse population and effect of the socialsecurity program on almshouses, see Monthly Labor Review, September 1938 (p. 518) and January 1939 (p. 67). See also description of Delaware State Welfare Home for Aged, M onthly Labor Review, January 1934 (p. 11). 2 The results of that survey were published as the Bureau’s Bulletin N o. 489. SUMMARY 3 No data are at hand to show what became of the residents in all these homes. It is known, however, that in some cases in which the same organization was supporting several homes at various places, one or more were closed and the residents transferred to the remaining institutions. In 1939 many homes were still operating at less than capacity, and one of these reported it would accept no more guests until its financial condition could be improved. Another had had its funds so depleted that two of its three buildings had to be closed. On the other hand, at least 81 new homes were opened between 1929 and 1939, and the additional facilities made available by these and by ex tensions to structures previously existing, together resulted in in creasing the total capacity of the homes reporting by more than 10,000 during the decade. In order to enter an old people’s home the applicant must meet certain definite requirements, varying from home to home. Among these the most general are age, sex, financial, membership, and char acter requirements. Once accepted, in the majority of homes he becomes a “ life member,” entitled not only to food and shelter for the rest of his life, but also to clothing, laundry, medical and nursing care (even hospital attention in some cases), and burial. Some homes accept guests only on payment of regular weekly or monthly rates, providing therefor only room and board; and a few provide shelter only (at very low rates), the resident being expected to provide for himself the rest of his subsistence. The greater part of the homes, however, provide complete care. The 1939 survey did not entail visits to individual homes. Visits made in the 1929 study revealed a wide variety of conditions, ranging from scant provision of the barest necessaries of life to comforts, even luxuries, comparable with those received in a prosperous wellappointed club or hotel. Nearly 65 percent of the homes reporting required some contribu tion from the resident, in the form of a flat sum paid at entrance or specified weekly or monthly rates; some homes take residents on either basis. A few institutions taking life-care residents set the entrance fee in accordance with the life expectancy of the incoming resident. In such cases the fee presumably meets the greater part of the cost of care. Examination of the general level of fees and other financial requirements, however, indicates that in the majority of homes sub sidy from some source is necessary. The great majority of homes have a sponsoring organization, rang ing from a labor organization or a fraternal or religious order to an informal group of local charitably minded citizens. In case of homes founded and endowed by legacy, a trusteeship usually operates the home. In the majority of cases the sponsoring organization is the 4 HOMES FOR AGED IN THE UNITED STATES only or chief source of income for the home, though many homes receive additional funds from a few or many other sources. Several new types of dwellings have lately appeared which are designed especially to care for persons in receipt of public old-age allowances. In some of these, as in a few of the older homes, only housing is provided— at low rates— and the resident is self-supporting otherwise, from his old-age allowance. In others, recipients of public old-age assistance have clubbed together to run houses where they provide themselves with rooms and meals on a cooperative basis. In general, however, the homes are provided for specific groups— members of a specified organization (fraternal, religious, labor, etc.), nationality or race, relatives of a given group (as relatives of marines, soldiers, or sailors), or residents of a given locality. Indeed, so re strictive are the requirements in some cases that the field of usefulness of the home is drastically reduced. This is especially true of homes established under the terms of wills drawn up to meet conditions that no longer exist. At the other extreme are some of the private and religious homes whose main or only requirements are the applicant’s need and lack of other suitable shelter. Some of the institutions reporting are full to overflowing, and some also have a long waiting list. Others are only partially filled. In the whole group of homes for which information was available— 93 percent of the total reporting— vacancies formed 11.7 percent of the total capacity. This figure, however, included the old soldiers’ homes (which have in many cases a steadily dwindling population) and the fraternal homes; in both of these, vacancies formed over one-fifth of the total capacity. The above average also included 700 institutions which not only had no vacancies but had waiting lists. The actual vacancy rate would be even higher than indicated above, were the average based only upon homes which had vacancies. In general it appeared that waiting lists were most common among the smaller homes dependent on limited resources. Although many of the homes expect the residents to assist about the home in such light tasks as they are able to do, most of the homes employ one or more paid employees. An exception to this is the group of large Catholic homes operated by the Little Sisters of the Poor. In these, all of the work is done by the Sisters. The homes reporting paid employees had a total of 14,614 such workers. Age of Homes Information on year of establishment, supplied by 1,209 homes, revealed that over two-fifths dated from before 1900, another third NUMBER OF PERSONS PROVIDED FOR 5 were established in the period from 1900 to 1919, and nearly one-fifth between 1920 and 1929.

Only 6.9 percent could care for 200 or more; this group included the large public homes for aged war veterans. Excluding the veterans' homes, the homes having a capacity of 200 or more formed only 4.5 percent of the total. The percentage distribution of homes according to their capacity is shown below: P ercen t Under 25 persons________________________________ 25 and under 50 persons________________________ 50 and under 75 persons________________________ 75 and under 100 persons______________________ 100 and under 200 persons_____________________ 200 persons and over______________________________ Total_____________________________________ 33. 27. 12. 7. 12. 7 0 7 5 2 6.9 100. 0 Individual homes ranged in size from a home with capacity of 3 persons to two veterans' homes with 1,500 capacity each. Number of Persons Provided for Of 1,543 homes to which questionnaires were sent, 115 had ceased operation since 1929, and 1,428 were in operation in 1939. Usable returns were received from 1,339 of the 1,428 active homes. These had a combined capacity of 92,592 in 1939, or an average of 70 per sons per home. Applying this average to the nonreporting homes, it would appear that the whole group of homes for aged in the United States offers facilities for the care of over 100,000 old people.

Industrial areas, with their many wage earners whose earnings never yield sufficient margin to make provision for their old age, are those areas where the need for such homes is undoubtedly the greatest. As table 1 indicates, it is in most cases the industrial States where the greatest number of homes are found. New York is far in the lead not only as regards number of homes but also as regards capacity. Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Ohio, and Massachusetts follow, in the order named, as regards number of aged that can be cared for. Comparatively few homes are in the agricultural States, and the Bureau could discover no homes at all in Nevada and New Mexico. When population is taken into account, however, the situation is considerably altered. Only 10 of the 47 jurisdictions shown had 7 NUMBER OE PERSONS PROVIDED FOR capacity, in their homes for aged, for caring for over 100 per 100,000 of their population. Relating capacity to population, only California and New York of the industrial States above mentioned had a ca pacity exceeding 100 per 100,000 of population. On this basis the District of Columbia took the lead by virtue of the presence of the National Soldiers' Home, though even without it the District's rate would have been 136. The rates of some of the other States were also raised by the presence of national homes of various kinds, drawing residents from all over the United States and not representing facili ties for the sole use of State residents. This was true of Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee, and Virginia, in which were situated the national homes of the printers, carpenters, and Order of Moose, railway conductors, railroad brotherhoods, printing pressmen, and Order of Elks. To ascertain to what extent use was being made of facilities pro vided, the questionnaire called for data (as of January 1, 1939) on number of residents by sex, and number of vacancies, in relation to capacity. It was recognized, of course, that the “ capacity" might be a quite flexible number, especially in homes providing private rooms but accepting married couples. In such cases the greater the pro portion of couples the larger the number of guests that could be accommodated. There were 1,248 homes furnishing data on all four points— ca pacity, number of male and female residents, and vacancies. Tabu lation of these returns indicates that there were 9,829 vacancies on that date, out of a total capacity of 84,024— or a vacancy rate of 11.7 percent (see table 2). The highest proportions of vacancies were found in the State soldiers' homes and in the fraternal institutions; in both of these, vacancies constituted over one-fifth of the total capacity.

In several cases the waiting list was larger than the home population. The homes with waiting lists were in the main the smaller ones operated by religious or other organizations for their members only. The period of waiting before being admitted also varied widely, ranging from a week or two to 10 years. The questionnaire asked for an estimate of the average period of waiting between submission of application and entrance into the home. A large proportion of the homes with waiting lists replied that the periods varied so widely that an estimate was impossible. In many homes, the applicant’s only chance for admission is when one of the residents dies. One superintendent in this group pointed that “ practically all [residents | remain for life, and some reach a great age.” In the largest group reporting, however, the waiting time was less than 6 months.

Thus, comparison of the returns for 1929 and 1939 indicates extension of facilities in 83 homes, pro viding quarters for 7,312 additional residents. The 81 new homes established since the 1929 survey had a combined capacity of 3,118.

Only 5 of this group of homes were supported entirely by a labor organiza tion or by contributions from the specific occupation. The others received their support from various sources. The homes for soldiers and sailors were publicly supported, the religious workers* institutions depended largely on donations from churches or individuals of the particular denomination sponsoring the home, as well as (in most cases) from moderate life-care fees. The remaining institutions had been largely established under the terms of wills and depended for the most part on the income from such legacies, though these homes also received some income from fees and, occasionally, from the local community chest. As table 3 indicates, 69 of the 72 homes had facilities for caring for more than 15,000 persons. Two of the homes established for the benefit of ministers, missionaries, and others in church service pro vided only living quarters at extremely low rates; the resident was expected to be otherwise self-supporting.

Thus, in order to enter the home for mechanics the applicant must have served 10 years at some mechanical trade. The home for music teachers required evidence of 25 years’ service. One of the actors’ homes was open to persons of either sex who had had 5 years’ experience on the dramatic stage; foreigners were required to have had 10 years’ experi ence, 3 of which (immediately preceding application) must have been on the American stage. For one of the homes for retired workers in the religious field, 20 years’ work in the service of the sponsoring church was a prerequisite. Twenty years’ service in the Regular Army is required for entrance to the National Soldiers’ Home, but one of the seamen’s homes (run under private auspices) requires only 5 years’ sea service under the American flag. HOMES FOR NEGROES To 964 homes only white persons are admitted, 50 homes take only colored people, and the bylaws of 325 contain no specific provision on this point. The 50 homes for Negroes had a capacity of 1,293. Most of these homes were very small. Of the 49 reporting as to capacity, 36 had accommodations for fewer than 25 persons each. Only two homes could care for over 100 residents; these had a capacity of 140 and 125, respectively. The average for the whole group was 26. In the 1929 study 9 homes for colored persons were visited. These visits revealed that physical conditions at the Negro homes did not in general equal those at the homes for whites, although there were homes in the latter group that were as bad as the worst found among the colored. HOMES FOR NATIONALITY GROUPS There were 37 homes with a capacity of 1,909, admission to which was restricted to specific nationalities.3 These homes represented 13 different nationalities. » These figures do not necessarily correspond with those given for nationality groups which sponsor homes, for some of the latter homes may not have a nationality entrance requirement and some of the homes with nationality requirements are sponsored by religious or other organizations rather than by a nationality group.

A few homes are for “ Americans” only— those born in the United States, or naturalized citizens. Thus, 9 homes place United States citizenship as a prerequisite for admission. Twenty-two homes specify that the applicant must be an “ American” or a “ native of the United States” ; one of these, however, will admit naturalized citizens if they have been such for 21 years or more. Two homes require not only that the applicant be a native, but his parents must also have been born in this country. The above are the only ones having a specific requirement on this point, but this requirement is of course implicit in some of the others— such as birth or life-long residence in a specified city, county, or State. HOMES FOR HANDICAPPED Six of the homes included are designed especially for the care of aged in specific handicapped groups. Thus, two homes accept only deaf old people, one only deaf mutes, two only deaf or deaf-blind, and one only blind.

These include individual dwelling units in apartments, colonies of individual cottages, and clubs run collectively on the cooperative plan by “ roomers” who are also the members and operators of the houses. All of these new forms have evolved as an attempt to provide housing accommodations for aged receiving the small allowances under the public old-age assistance plan.4 Sponsoring Organizations A wide variety of sponsoring organizations 5 was found. Of 1,327 homes for which data on this point were received, the largest group, 537, was run by religious denominations or under their auspices. These homes had a combined capacity of 39,980. Among the indi vidual sects, Catholic homes had accommodations for 17,975 persons, Jewish homes for 6,082, and all the Protestant denominations com bined for 15,923. Fraternal homes numbered 129, with a capacity of 13,371. Some of the fraternal organizations, such as Loyal Order of Moose and Order of Elks, have a single, national, home for their aged members. In other cases where several homes are shown, the homes are generally supported by the lodges in a single State or in several neighboring States, with the grand lodge for the region acting as sponsor and oper ating the home. The two leading orders, in point of both number of homes and persons cared for were the Masons (and Eastern Star) and the Odd Fellows (and Rebekahs). Institutions supported from public funds had accommodations for 14,260 of which 12,035 were in State-supported homes for war veterans and their wives and widows. The homes established or supported by county or city authorities 6 were generally maintained (on a partially self-supporting basis) for aged local citizens. Nine institutions (caring for 1,531 persons) were supported by occupational groups, mainly the trade-unions. Other sponsors in this group were a retail druggists’ auxiliary association and 2 organizations of volunteer firefighters. The number of institutions (and their capacity) sponsored by speci fied classes of organizations are shown in table 4. 1 A list of the cooperative homes for aged is given in appendix A of this bulletin, page 124. For a detailed account of these new types, see M onthly Labor Review, August 1939, or Serial No. R. 977. B y “ sponsoring organization” is meant the organization responsible mainly for the establishment of the home or in large degree for its support and direction, or both.

Entrance Requirements AGE Generally the prime requirement that must be met in all homes, before acceptance, is that of age. The age most commonly set as the minimum for admission is 65 years. Of 1,239 homes reporting on this point, 622 set 65 years as the lowest entrance age; 302 others set 60 years. The percentage distribution of homes according to minimum age of admission was as follows: P ercen t 50 51 60 61 65 years__________________________________________ to 59 years___________________________________ years__________________________________________ to 64 years____________________________________ years__________________________________________ 66 to 69 years____________________________________ 70 years__________________________________________ Over 70 years____________________________________ No age requirement_____________________________ Total 1. 5 .8 24. 4 .3 50. 2 1. 4 4. 9 .6 15. 8 100. 0 14 HOMES FOR AGED IN THE UNITED STATES Where different ages are set for men and women, the most frequent combinations found are (1) 60 for women, 65 for men; (2) 65 for women, 70 for men; and (3) 68 for women, 70 for men. FEES Nearly 65 percent of the homes reporting were at least partially dependent upon fees from the residents— either a life fee (entitling to care for the remainder of the applicant’s life) or a weekly or monthly rate. Of the organizations operating on a life-care basis, over two-fifths required no fee for admission to the home. The majority of these were homes run by organizations for their members only, in which the member was considered already to have made his contribution to the home through monthly dues over a period of years. This was true of all of the homes run by labor organizations and of a very large proportion of the fraternal homes, as well as of a sub stantial percentage of those run by religious denominations or under sectarian auspices. None of the soldiers’ homes charged admission fees, but in one case— the National Soldiers’ Home, Washington, D. C.— the contributions from warrant officers and men in the Regular Army furnished the greater part of the necessary funds and the guest was therefore considered to have already paid his way in. About one-eighth each had life-care fees of from $500-$600 and $1,000$2,000. For nearly 7 percent there was no set fee, each case being considered on its merits and the fee being varied according to the resources of the applicant. In a very large proportion, even of homes having a set scale of fees, worthy persons were sometimes accepted without fees. In a great many cases no indication was given as to the basis for the rate set. In some institutions, however, the entrance fee was based upon the applicant’s age at time of admission (i. e., upon his life expectancy). The following statement shows the percentage distribution of the homes accepting life-care residents, by fees charged: Percent No fees_____________________________________________________ 44. 2 Less than $300_____________________________________________ 5. 3 $300 and under $400________________________________________ 5.6 $400 and under $500________________________________________ 2.0 $500 and under $600______________________________________ 12. 4 $600 and under $1,000______________________________________ 7.2 $1,000 and under $2,000__________________________________ 12. 5 $2,000 and over______________________________________________ 3.9 Fee varies according to resources of applicant_____________ 6.9 T otal____________________________________________ ___ 100. 0 - 15 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS In addition to the entrance fees, a few homes require the deposit of a sum (ranging from $60 to $200 in those reporting) to cover the cost of burial, or require that the applicant obtain a guaranty by relatives or friends that they will meet such expenses. One home requires that the guest be the possessor of the deed to a cemetery plot. Most of the homes require that the applicant transfer to the home, on admission, any property, insurance, or other assets of which he may be possessed. This transfer may be absolute at that time, or the property may be held in trust until the resident’s death. Over 300 of the homes charged monthly or weekly rates. There was, however, some duplication here with the life-care homes, as some institutions had both life residents and boarders. Of the homes taking boarders, a considerable proportion were those operated under religious auspices. The rates charged indicate the presence of a subsidy, in many cases, from other sources. Often the subsidy came from investments or endowments. The distribution of the homes charging weekly or m o n th ly rates is shown in the following statem en t: Weekly rate of— Number Less than $ 5 _____ ____________________ 15 $5 and under $10__ ____________________ 56 $10 and under $20 __ ____________________ 27 Monthly rate of— $10 and under $20 __ ____________________ 18 $20 and under $30__ ____________________ 74 $30 and under $40__ ____________________ 94 $40 and under $50 __ ____________________ 28 $50 and over_________ ____________________ 20 T o ta l. _________ ____________________ 332 Percent 4. 5 16. 9 8. 1 5. 22. 28. 8. 6. 4 3 3 4 0 100. 0 SEX REQUIREMENTS The returns indicate that aged women are better provided for by far than are aged men. An aged man would, on the basis of the entrance requirements reported, have a chance for admission to 67.9 percent of the homes, whereas an aged woman would have a chance in 95.9 percent of the homes. Of 1,338 homes reporting on this point, nearly one-third admitted women only.

Most of them also specify that at the time of entrance the applicant must be in “ normal health,” meaning thereby a state of health normal for the person's age. Others specify practically the same thing by requiring that the resident must be “ ambulant,” “ able to care for his own personal needs,” “ not bedridden,” “ able to come to the dining room for meals,” “ not requiring personal care,” “ not a bed patient,” etc. Some further specify that the applicant must be free from com municable, “ objectionable” or malignant disease, or from certain named ailments (epilepsy, tuberculosis, cancer, paralysis, diabetes, blindness, etc.). These, it should be emphasized, are entrance requirements. Should the resident become incapacitated after admission the great majority of homes (except the strictly “ boarding homes” ) will furnish medical and nursing care. Other homes, notably the large Jewish homes, accept infirm and disabled and some give preference to them over the able-bodied applicants. As already noted, several take only deaf, deaf-mutes, or blind aged. Submission to thorough medical examination, at the time of entrance to the home, is practically a universal requirement, even in those institutions which accept the infirm and disabled. OTHER REQUIREMENTS The prime requirement for admission to a home sponsored by a definite group or organization is generally membership in the organi zation, often for a specified period of years. Thus, to enter a Masonic home the applicant must ordinarily have been a member in good standing in a local lodge contributing to the support of the institution. Only one home specified that applicants must be “ free from marked personality defects.” Several others include such required character istics as “ adaptability,” “ congenial,” “ good disposition.” In prac tice, however, these are very general requirements, which the probationary period (see p. 17) provides opportunity to evaluate. A number of the homes specify that the applicant must be without other means of support, or unable to support himself; the fraternal homes figure largely in this group. Some refuse an applicant if he or she has relatives or children able to furnish support. A few of the homes for women accept only childless or unmarried persons, and one accepts “ spinsters” only. W H A T TH E RESIDENTS RECEIVE 17 Although residence requirements are found in all groups, homes supported or sponsored by local organizations are more likely than the others to have, as one of the prime requisites for entrance, a specified period of residence in the city, county, or other designated region. The most commonly required periods are 2, 3, 5, and 10 years, but periods ranging from 6 months to 30 years were found. Two homes require, respectively, lifelong residence in the city and in the State, and another gives preference to persons born in the city where the home is situated. Good moral character is a general requirement and a substantial proportion require one or more character references. In the endeavor to maintain a home population on a high level of culture, some of the institutions specify that the applicant must be a “ gentlewoman,” “ a woman of refinement,” “ a gentlewoman in reduced circumstances,” “ a person of good cultural background.” Most of these are asso ciations taking women only, but one home restricted to men requires that the applicant must have been a person of some means and stand ing in the community, not divorced. Other, infrequent, requirements include belief in a Supreme Being (several fraternal homes), Christian, church member, etc.; that the applicant shall not be addicted to the use of alcoholic beverages, drugs, or (two homes only) tobacco; clothing sufficient for a specified period; furnishings for the resident’s room; ability to assist in the operation of the home. Most of the homes accepting guests on a life-care basis have a trial period of varying length (2 to 6 months, in the majority of cases). During this period both home and resident are on probation. The guest has the opportunity to judge whether he or she is likely to be contented there, and the home superintendent is given a chance to observe the resident in his relations with the others and to determine the desirability of his continued presence there. If either party, during or at the end of the period, decides unfavorably, deduction is made from the entrance fee of the cost of room and meals and the remainder is returned to the applicant on his departure. What the Residents Receive Examination of the cost to the residents of the homes, in the form of entrance fees, indicates that these old people receive more than their money’s worth. Assuming an average cost to the home of $410 7 i This was the average cost in the homes giving life care, which volunteered information on this point. 18 HOMES FOR AGED IN THE UNITED STATES per person per year, it is evident that fees and other contributions by the guest would cover at best only a few years’ care. The appli cant may live only a year or two after admission; on the other hand, he may live 15 or 20 years. It is the experience of the homes that the good physical care provided, and above all the comforting sense of security, tends to prolong the lives of the residents, and many of them live to a great age. A large proportion of the homes require that the applicant must be in reasonably good health, considering his age, at the time of ad mission. Once accepted, however, practically all of the life-care homes provide medical or nursing care, or both, if the resident falls sick. Thus, of 1,241 homes reporting on this point, 83.2 percent fur nished both medical and nursing care, 6.0 furnished nurse only, 2.7 doctor only, and 8.1 expected the resident to bear the cost himself. That such care may entail considerable extra expense for the home is indicated by a study of chronic sickness in homes for aged, made in 1931.8 That study, which covered 78 homes for aged within a radius of 50 miles of New York City, revealed that 48 percent of the guests had chronic incapacitating ailments; more than a tenth were bedridden, and 6 percent were confined to wheel chairs. A large pro portion had been receiving care since shortly after their admission to the home. Some of the larger homes have one or more paid full-time physi cians. In a number of cases, the homes receive free service from local physicians who give their time as a charity. In addition to shelter, food, laundry, medical and nursing care, a great many of the homes also provide burial (though a few require a specific fee for this expense). In order to recoup some of the loss between fee income and obliga tions assumed, it is a general practice of the homes to require the in coming guest to transfer all or part of such income or property as he possesses to the home. In return the home may bind itself to pay some or all of the income from it to the guest during his lifetime. On the other hand it is a quite common practice to accept, free, per sons without means to pay the fee, if they fulfill all the other conditions of entrance. Sources of Income of Homes Where the home has a sponsoring organization, generally the sponsor also provides a large measure of financial support for the institution, for even where entrance fees are charged these are often s Welfare Council of N ew York City. Research Bureau study N o. 5: Care of the Chronic Sick in Private Homes for Aged in and near N ew York City, by M ary C. Jarrett. N ew York, 1931. SOURCES OiF INCOME OF HOMES 19 entirely inadequate to cover the cost of care during the remainder of the resident's life. In many homes originally established under the terms of a will, the legacy has so dwindled as to be insufficient for support and often in such cases additional assistance has had to be sought from other sources. Homes established by fraternal orders are supported solely by the order, generally through regular dues paid by the members for the purpose or by appropriations made from the organization's general funds. The same is true of the trade-union homes. Of the homes operated under Catholic auspices a large proportion receive no financial support from the sponsor. Thus, the homes of the Little Sisters of the Poor— all large institutions offering only the barest necessaries of life and usually having as their main (or even only) requirement that the applicant be destitute, depend for their support upon voluntary contributions of food, clothing, and other articles from business men (grocers, bakers, etc.) and private individuals. The homes are, however, run by the sponsoring order and usually the Sisters perform all of the work, with what little assistance can be given by the residents. In the homes sponsored by an outside organization, such as a labor union or a fraternal order, usually the only source of support for the home is that organization and its members. Generally such homes require no fees, as the resident is considered to have made his contri bution during his years of membership in the sponsoring organization. Of the 1,201 institutions which reported as to their sources of income, nearly 10 percent were endowed homes operating entirely on the income from invested funds or with these supplemented by an entrance fee. In 23 percent the support came from a sponsoring organization alone or with some supplementary income from fees or other sources. Three percent were homes dependent on individual contributions (most of these were the homes of the Little Sisters of the Poor), and fewer than half of 1 percent were supported entirely by a local community chest. Nearly 5 percent of the homes were dependent entirely on the fees paid by the guests. Most of these were homes of the “ boarding" type, charging fixed rates per week or month and supplying no care beyond food and shelter. The largest group of homes (nearly 55 percent) received support from a variety of sources, including one or more of the following: Fees, residents' pensions or old-age assistance allowances, sponsor, city or county, local community chest, donations by individuals, collections 20 HOMES FOR AGED IN THE UNITED STATES from churches and other local organizations, proceeds of bazaars, entertainments, “ tag days,” legacies, endowments or other invest ments, and income or products from home farm. Of the 1,201 homes, 187 were receiving some assistance from the local community chest. The distribution of the reporting homes, by sources of support, is shown in table 5.

The list was compiled after a careful canvass of all possible sources of information and is believed to be substantially complete. However, the Bureau will appreciate being informed of any homes for aged not included here. More than 90 percent of the homes responded to the Bureau’s request for information as to their entrance requirements. A num ber of homes failed to report, but in only one case was information definitely refused. All known homes are listed here, whether or not they furnished information. As a check, for all nonreporting homes the postmasters were circularized, to ascertain whether the homes were in fact still in operation. Practically complete coverage was received from the postmaster circular. Thus it may be said with confidence that all of the homes listed were actually in existence in September 1939. For each reporting home the directory gives the minimum age required for admission, life fee or boarding rates, and other entrance requirements. The capacity of the home is noted; some of the homes DIRECTORY OF OLD PEOPLE’S HOMES 21 also take children, but the capacity given is that for aged unless otherwise noted. It will be observed that some of the homes accept “ both sexes and couples” and others “ both sexes.” In the former, man and wife are accepted as a couple and allowed to live together as such. The others either accept only unattached men and women or, if both man and wife are admitted, require them to live apart. If the home has a sponsoring organization, the directory shows the name of that organization. 22 HOMES FOB AGED IN TH E UNITED STATES D irectory, and E ntrance R equirem ents o f H om es Entrance require m ents Nam e and address of home Sponsoring or controlling organization M inim um M ini entrance fee mum for life age members A la b a m a Birmingham: Old Folks Home, 625 Jasper R d _______ W hite (Octavia) Home, 504 South 56th St. Mobile: Colored Old Folks and Orphans Home, Spring H ill and M obile Sts.

These standards, designed to insure the maximum efficiency, comfort, and convenience, were given in the July 1935 Newsletter of the Foundation and are reprinted here as of possible assistance to groups intending to open an old people's home. O ld P e o p l e ’s H o m es of t h e F u t u r e Rooms, porches, and outside walks easy of access for those weak or uncertain of their step. Comfortable sized rooms (single or double), with possibly private or connected bath, lavatory, and, in all cases, hot and cold running water convenient. Sound-proof walls, insuring elimination of objectionable or disturbing noises. Sufficient, but not too much, cross ventilation through transoms, door blinds, or other controlling devices, that the odor of senile decay and other “smells” may be quickly removed. Proper and regulated artificial heat for cool or cold weather, either under the control of each room occupant or by thermostats at different parts of the structure. Ample natural and artificial lighting in rooms and halls. Fixtures that may be “stepped down” or dimmed during retirement, and maximum service as occasion requires. 124 APPENDIX---- HOME STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS 125 Convenient and well-located public toilets and baths for visitors as well as members and servants, careful consideration being given as to the fixtures in stalled and drainage system to insure maximum sanitation, comfort, and privacy at reasonable cost, not overlooking the floor that it be “ nonskidding” and the tubs that they may be of safe and easy access; also, that if showers be provided they may be simple to operate and foolproof. Ample closet space in each m em bers room, with shelves and clothes hangers, being mindful that members need more than ordinary space for their “ keepings.” All walls and ceilings (particularly in sleeping rooms and toilets) to be coated with an easy-to-clean paint or enamel and of tone and texture in harmony with the trim, also furniture therein. Windows should be weatherstripped to eliminate drafts and also to preserve heat, and equipped where practical with (easy to roll up or remove) nonrusting wire screens. Window sash should also be easy to operate. Mindful of the expense of operating passenger elevators, ramps are recom mended for two- and three-floor structures. If hand or power elevators are installed, then at least one should be of generous “ cab” size to permit transporta tion of the sick or deceased. The advantage of having the kitchen and dining room on the upper floor is the elimination of food odors permeating the rest of the house. It also affords light and scenery while eating and makes available “ attic space” convenient to the servants’ quarters. Dumbwaiters solve the transportation problem. Hall and sleeping-room floors should be of easy-cleaning and replacement composition, of a pleasing “ warm” material, soundless to footsteps, and of color in harmony with the decorative scheme employed. Even if of fireproof construction, no home for the aged should be permitted to operate that is not equipped with the latest improved (and working) fire protection, also fire-escape device; all outside doors swinging out, also equipped with self unlocking cross bars. It must not be forgotten that rooms equipped with open-grate fireplaces of generous proportions (when in operation) make desirable rendezvous for old folks. The administrative office, while apart from the reception room, should be con nected therewith, and adjacent thereto should be a room equipped to handle mail matters, vend small merchandise needed by members, also the house intercom municating telephone service and “ outside” communication; here would be the station of the clerk on duty, who could act as “ public” and manager’s stenographer. The arrangement, equipment, and location of various “ service departments” such as kitchen, laundry, furnace room, food, and fuel storage quarters are problems a book could be written on, but, at any event, calling for expert advice to fit each particular requirement as planned. The system to adopt for power and heat depends upon the character and location of the building planned, and also calls for expert advice. However, it is not out of place to suggest that all pipes and wires be of easy access so that they may be “ got at” should trouble occur necessitating repairs. In planning storage departments for meats, vegetables, canned goods, and dry foods, the matter of their location and control (from shortages and “ leaks” ) through a thief-proof food-dispensing system, should be considered. It must be remem bered that the income of every home is via the “ Queen Anne front,” but the losses and much of the operating expenses go via the “ Mary Ann back;” therefore the latter should be provided with all kinds of “ safety devices.” Dry, moth-, vermin- and rodent-proof storage space, or “ lockers,” for furniture (and apparel of the departed) is of no small importance and should be protected from unauthorized visitors. 126 HOMES FOR AGED IN TH E UNITED STATES Servants’ quarters should be provided and equipped so as to preclude disturbing those who retire early, and should be modem, sanitary, and comfortable, to insure housing satisfaction of those employed to serve members. A “ living” or help’s assembly room does much to make the servants’ quarters “ homey.” Ample toilet and bathroom accommodations, as well as proper heating and ventilation are also necessary. Access to and egress from the servants’ quarters should be planned for supervision— “ for reasons.” The home’s main assembly hall, auditorium, chapel (or whatever title may be assigned to it), as the gathering place for worship or entertainment, should be of easy access for the blind, the lame, and the halt. It should be sufficiently large to meet all requirements, provided with a movable platform, or stage, have a “ drop” or “ pull” curtain, concealed except when in use, and care should be exercised regarding accoustic properties, heat, light, and ventilation. Of late, instead of benches or pews, the trend of such public gathering places has been toward individ ual chairs, easily removed, if desired, and placed in storage space conveniently near. Of course, the “ nursery” (for the sick folks), linen and laundry assorting room, the houseman’s shop for carpentry, upholstery, and odd jobs, will not be overlooked. Recreation rooms, sun parlors, porches, library, reading, writing, smoking, card, and game rooms; also the drug, barber, and beauty shops; possibly a “ plunge” and members’ pastime rooms for special cooking, laundering, sewing, wood working, art painting, and whatnot undertakings always make attractive induce ments for membership. o
