for those of you who are recalling bad experiences with nursing homes. As I said previously, my husband has been in Senior care for many years. Perhaps my husband is the exception but lost or stolen goods always were either recovered or the staff where run through the paces to locate it. In many instances a resident gave an item away and my husband had to reel the staff in on the fact it was not allowed. By all means inventory items and provide the administrator of the facility with a copy signed by yourself and them. Putting a dear one in extended care is not easy for anyone, we have seen many reactions from both the resident and the family member. On a humorous note- At one point my husband took away a residents motorized wheel chair after he intentionally ran over another residents foot. He called his children screaming he was being abused and would disinherit them if they didn't get the chair back so he didn't have to use a manual one. The son arrived immediately and after hearing the story, he understood the choice was the motorized chair and moving to a new home or keep the manual one until he could get his temper under control and stay where he was most familiar. The son kissed his father gently on his furrowed brow and told him if he wanted to disinherit him that was his choice.Later it turned out the man was mad at the woman he ran over the foot of because she had declined his lunch invitation- they made up later.
