A module for residents under institutional care includes a bed unit having a high side panel and high end panels to ensure a reasonable degree of privacy and also includes a theft-proof tall storage unit. The storage unit has a lockable door, overhead storage space, a plurality of internal shelves, an internal support surface, an internal drawer, and an extendible desk in it which can be extended exteriorally of the tall storage unit or slid into the side of the storage unit and locked therein. The desk unit includes a hingeable top surface attached to an underlying storage compartment and a lock which prevents the desk unit from being extended toward the bed unit unless unlocked from within the storage unit. The extended desk unit is disposed at a height such that there is adequate knee space beneath the bottom of the storage compartment and the top of the bed so that a resident can conveniently sit on the edge of the bed and utilize the desk unit for studying. The entire module, including the bed and the storage unit, is assembled from a plurality of pre-cut, pre-drilled and pre-grooved wooden beams and uprights, a plurality of pre-cut wooden panels which fit into the grooves, and a plurality of bolts and nuts.
