I'm so sorry that your quilt is gone. I hope that it turns up soon. It's so sad that our loved ones can't havce nice things in a care facility b/c they disappear. I understand about the laundering-clothing needs to be able to be really clean. and then comfort is important too. but there shouldn't be the fear that the resident can't have anything nice b/c it walks away is really sad. My great aunt was in a Nh and her glasses disappeared-how do you mark them? that was the problem. then there was the resident that collected everyones dentures and kept them in their drawer. Imagine the fun the staff had trying to find the rightful owners froma whole drawer full of teeth!
