Geauga County home

In 1816, the Ohio General Assembly authorized Ohio County Commissioners to build poor houses. By 1850, the name had been changed to Infirmaries. At that time, the road on which these homes were located was usually called Infirmary Road. At one time, Aquilla Road was called Infirmary Road. In many counties, there is still an Infirmary Road.

On March 15, 1839, the Geauga County Commissioners bought the original tract of land and hired a contractor to build the first home. Part of this original home is still standing. It is located behind the Superintendent's home, next to the present home.

In 1875, the present three story, red brick home was built. It was designed to provide each resident with a single bedroom. Presently, the home can house up to 37 men and women.

Early county homes were working farms with the residents doing the bulk of the farm work. Today, residents are encouraged to share in daily chores of daily life, as well as caring for their rooms, to the extent possible. Staff is available to assist as needed.
