What Hospital "Day Room" Should Be

What Hospital "Day Room" Should Be: When the first unit of the Ypsilanti State hospital was built six years ago, day space and night space were designed according to standard practice, about 110 square feet combined for each patient. Attractive, uncluttered sitting rooms were provided and efforts were made to create a cheerful, friendly atmosphere that might have a healthful, stimulating effect upon sick-minded patients. The picture taken at Ypsilanti shows what a "day room" should be in a modern mental hospital and the below shows what "day space" accommodations actually have been in some wards of overloaded older hospitals. Even the new Ypsilanti hospital is now carrying an overload and the original ideal conditions are gradually being impaired.
