It seems that all of us share the same story about items in Mom's/Dad's room going "missing". We experienced the same thing with Mom while she was there, but also, in talking about the "things at home", she wanted us to go get them and give them to "so & so". (We didn't) She even gave away an artificial flower arrangement bought especially for her room. Theft is a HUGE problem and is committed by the poorly paid staff as well as some of the residents. I do not know the answer, but I know I talked to the administrator on a regular basis. It was always surprising how things were hanging in her closet that did not belong and other things went missing. Just sayin'.... We'll all be there one day, so how can we "fix" it now? Maybe criminal background checks for both the staff and the residents?
