Anna’s health continued to decline. She eventually moved in with Elise and Jakob Müller. She lived there and Elise and Jakob were happy to care for her and look after her. Anna continued to get worse, and her mind deteriated and by the early 1900's it took at least two people to care for her at all times. She needed full time care - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. She was termed “insane” and it was necessary to seek more help in caring for her.

Built on the shore of the Bodensee,
in a Monastery dating back to the year 986, Anna was housed in this hospital by the name of Psychiatrische Klink Müsterlingen, which translated means Thurgau’s Mad or Mental Hospital. While Anna was there it was directed by Dr. Ludwig Franc who’s studies with the patients contributed greatly to the first addition of the Interpretations of Dreams by Sigmund Freud in the early 1900's.
Today the hospital is known as the Psychiatrische Dienste Thurgau. Anna lived here for 1½ years before she died.
