County Home patients to be moved after license revocation
William C. Sanders inspected Adams County Home to review fallout from the welfare department’s revocation of its license allowing care of insane or mentally deranged patients. While no moves have occurred yet, officials expect transfers to state institutions or county hospitals. The facility houses 34 patients in neuropsychiatric wards and local officials appeal to keep mentally unsound residents in county or regional care.
