Title The institutional care of the indigent aged in Utah
Date 1935-06
Description The purpose of the study of the Institutional Care of the Indigent Aged in Utah was to survey and analyze the Administrative policies and standards of the existing infirmaries in Utah and to determine the economic and social status of the inmates of these infirmaries. It was hoped that this study would reveal existing types of administration, and possible causes for the economic and social destituteness of those persons who spend their last years in infirmaries; that it might discover ways of minimizing the economic degeneration of any one social class or age group; and that it might lead to suggestions for the creating of a more adequate and constructive system than is now had in Utah.
