[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but this is super super common. My grandma was robbed blind (she actually was blind) in her fancy nursing home. Both dhs grandmas were too. My grandma had hard to fit shoe. I bought her $100 slippers. Next day I came and they were missing. I was livid so I walked the halls and found them on another woman. She yelled at me but I got a nurse and yep- my grandmas name was in them. Same for rings. We got her a moissanite $50 ring in silver to replace her engagement ring. It was stolen multiple times. We kept buying it because it was important to my grandma that she die with the ring she loved her whole life (which was in a security box unbeknownst to her). Any nice outfit we ever bought her was stolen. The fancy barefoot dreams throw- stolen. The nurses told me that as people ate their minds deteriorate and they like to steal. 12k a month!

All that being said- don’t bring anything at all into a nursing home of value. If your relative loves a Rolex- get a seiko or a Folex and switch it on her. Because 100% it will be stolen. [/quote]
