Is your friend in contact with his mother's extended family?
Someone might have a photo.
In my experience, they are often passed down to females of perhaps a younger generation.

As the hospital was residential, I wonder if their records might hold a photograph, although if they do, this might be subject to a privacy clause?
You can but ask, if you explain the family link.
