I quit donating to most places as they have become too picky and too many rules put on a good deed. The children's hospital here loves quilts and will give them out to every patient that wants one. The nurses say the quilts put a smile on the kids faces and that is good for everyone. Those quilts go home with the patient, not laundered at the hospital. Some long term patients have more then one quilt. The assisted living seemed to be iffy if the quilt goes back the owner at times. I made quilts for the CNAs and nurses that work at the local assisted living here. That made a big difference in trying to get the quilt back to the right person. I think they realized how much they wanted to have their own quilt and it wasn't just a blanket to cover with.
