Good Home for Aged
Needing Special Care
Urged by 0yerhoIser

DR.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent of St. Elizabeths Hos
pital, expressed the hope yesterday
that "after the stadium and other
memorials are built there will be a
suitable facility here for the care of
the aged person who is nursing
problem"
A good home for the aged" might
be OF more practical use to the Dis
trict than stadium, he told con-
ference on Problems of the Older
Person In the World Today" held
under the auspices of the Council
of Social Agencies at the YWCA.
200 Need Special Care.
DR.. Overholser estimated that be-
tween 200 and 300 patients at st.
Elizabeth's who definitely need spe-
cial nursing supervision could be
cared for at a less expensive insti-
tuition II there we're an adequate
place for their care, he said, he
would be glad to send such patients
to a home for the aged. He would
not, however, be willing for them to
go to the Home for the Aged at
Blue Plains, he added.
DR.. Overholser also deplored the
stigma attached to the person who
has been in a mental institution, /"
declaring that many who have had
mental disorders could be cared for
in homes for the aged If there were
not a prejudice against them.
Changes in the type of program
offered by both public and private
homes for the aged due to increas-
ing social security old-age benefits
and old-age assistance were urged
by Miss Ruth Hill of the American
Red Cross and DR.. Marjorie Shear
on of the United States Public
Health Service, who presided.
Prefer Independence.
Homes will do well to plan for ad-
of persons needing nursing
care. because in the future the So
called able older person will prefer
to go it alone" on a small pension
or old-age grant while he is capable
TO do so, Miss Hill said.
