Yup. Another NY location.... abandoned and left to sit and rot. Minimal graffiti so that was good. This place just felt sad for lack of a better description. Nothing cheerful & just plain sad. As always, found a ton of personal info left behind on its patients.. that, to me is very bothersome. In 1921, a group of Monticello women organized the Hebrew Ladies Society to raise funds for the establishment of a hospital. In 2008, the New York State Department of Health ordered the closure of Monticello Manor, an adult home located upstate in Sullivan County. Health inspectors found several violations in the for-profit home, housed in a former hospital building, and ordered that all of the residents be evacuated within 24 hours. Safety violations included roof leaks that caused ceilings to partially collapse, peeling plaster walls, rusting steel supports, mold and bed bugs. The operator of Monticello Manor, Charles Benson, owned an additional nursing home located about 30 miles away in Roscoe, New York. The DOH order banned Benson from moving any Monticello patients to Roscoe Manor, which he closed voluntarily in 2009. But Roscoe Manor wasn’t much better than Monticello... that home was cited for over 149 violations of its own since 2001 and left unsupervised, two patients wandered away and died. There are so many abandoned facilities, homes and businesses throughout this area you can’t help wonder why. It felt very sad here. Happy & safe exploring 🍃 Very interesting history on the Monticello. Check it out ~ abandonedonline.net/location/monticello-hospital/
