Sadly, things go missing even when they are labeled with the resident's name. It seems like every time I took my mother new clothes or a lap quilt, they ended up missing. When I talked to the nursing home manager, she said, "Oh, we just give them to whoever needs them most." I told her that I was buying/making these things for my mother and I wanted her to have them. I also make charity quilts for nursing homes. Anyway, long story short, I moved mom into a very nice private nursing home not far from where we live and had no more problems. They took very good care of her until her death almost 4 years ago.
