I am a retired RN Supervisor. I have had new, expensive shoes belonging to a resident come up missing. One night, at 2 AM, a nursing assistant took her shoes off because her feet hurt. I noticed that they were marked inside, very clearly, with the resident's name! That same family bought another pair of SAS shoes, this time marking on the thick rubber sole on the outside of the shoes. Within one week, a repeat performance, shoes are again gone! Less than a week later, another CNA came in to work with new, white SAS shoes. The rubber soles had heavy black magic marker scribbles on them. She claimed that her kids did it to her own new shoes! It was clearly an attempt to disguise the name of the real owner, but was not discernible enough to be legal proof. She got away with this sad, petty crime against a vulnerable elderly lady! Those missing quilts, comforters and robes often go home with unscrupulous staff, along with equipment! I went to a yard sale near our facility and saw a wheel chair for sale that was clearly marked with the facility's name. The seller claimed she "found it" in her yard!!!!
