In the film, when Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss) has had it with Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) he calls in a favor with a colleague and tries to have him committed at a mental institution. Unfortunately for Dr. Marvin, the doctors and staff think Bob is a great guy and have to release him.
The Elks National Home is a retirement community in Bedford, and it was the filming location for the institution in the film.
