I often wonder how many such gifts go home with someone else?
Most likely it was a resident that took it. Staff call it shopping because many of the residents can no longer think quite straight. On every visit to my mother I turned stuff into staff for reorientation. Mother had someone's teeth once and door decor seemed to be a favorite magpie item. Please give staff the benefit of doubt.
