Other information
In 1929 there were 114 patients and 63 out-pensioners, who received £20 each. Patients were admitted either by paying £1 weekly in advance, or by nomination by three govenors and election by subscribers in October. Votes were carried forward. Insanity, idiocy, imbecility, epilepsy and cancer were ineligible for admission, although the latter two were eligible for pensions. [1929 Burdett's Hospitals and Charities] In 1948 the cost per week for paying patients was £3 per week. The home was intended for middle-class patients in reduced circumstances.
