The first foundation in the United States to deal primarily with the needs of the elderly, the Benjamin Rose Institute worked initially to keep the aged in their communities and avert their institutionalization.

The Institute presently runs the Margaret Wagner House, a nursing home. The collection consists of administrative files, files pertaining to the Areawide Model Project on Aging (a federal demonstration project involving elderly care at the Riverview and Cedar housing estates in Cleveland, Ohio), files on group psychotherapy for the aged, files on old age and nursing homes (e.g. Margaret Wagner House), subject files, and individual case files. | | | | Call #: | MS 4492 | | | | Extent: | 16.40 linear feet (17 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Benjamin Rose Institute -- Archives. | Cedar Housing Estates (Cleveland, Ohio) | Riverview Housing Estates (Cleveland, Ohio) | Geriatrics -- Endowments -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Home care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Health and hygiene -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Case studies. | Aged -- Mental health -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Services for -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Social group work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Community health services for the aged -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Old age -- Research. | Old age homes -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Nursing homes -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Nursing home patients -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Case studies. | Social work with older people -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
