personally, considering the incidents of items disappearing in nursing homes, I would just buy a "brought on" quilt. But, even with that, I would make sure her name is on it, either appliqued, embroidered or written on with a permanent ink ( in several places) Then, if a staff member( or anyone else) did steal it, every time she/he would see that name, she/he would be reminded that she/he is a thief...
