Question Patients and Inmates ~ what's the difference ?
Today, on the 1911 census, I found the husband and the 2 adult offspring of a gt gt aunt in institutions (gt gt aunt was OK, living in 2 rooms in Fulham and working as a Dressmaker).

They are in different institutions but all described as 'inmates'.
One is in 'The Epileptic Colony', Epsom, Surrey and trawling back through the images, the first couple of pages have the occupants listed as 'patients'.

Can anyone tell me what the difference might have been ?
