This study focuses on the residents of three ecclesiastical homes for the elderly in 19th century. The Hague. These homes took in poor members of the church who were at least 60 years old. Most of the elderly who resided in these homes had received poor relief prior to admission. The main reason to request admission was that they were no longer able to independently run a household. Most of the residents were well past the age of 60 upon entering the home, women generally being a few years older than men. There were no significant gender differences in duration of residence. The female age at death was a few years higher than for males. The health of the residents appeared to be worse than that of the total elderly population of The Hague, resulting in a higher death rate. In general, residents had independently run a household prior to admission.
这项研究聚焦于19世纪位于海牙的三家教会养老院的居民。这些养老院收留至少60岁的教会贫困成员。居住在这些养老院的大多数老年人在入院前已接受过贫困救济。申请入院的主要原因是他们不再能够独立操持家务。大多数居民入院时已远超60岁，女性通常比男性大几岁。居住时长方面没有显著的性别差异。女性的死亡年龄比男性高几岁。居民的健康状况似乎比海牙老年人口的总体健康状况更差，导致死亡率更高。一般来说，居民在入院前曾独立操持家务。
