Incredible advice, Carol!

Great advice! A very specific, yet helpful, thing to pack is Ear Gear for any loved ones who wear hearing aids. We lost several hearing aids with my grandmother having dementia so we used Ear Gear to clip them to her clothing. She would still remove the aids several times but at least she couldn't leave them around. Nursing homes are busy places!! Personal items do tend to wander ;) You can find these hearing aid clips if you google gear for ears ...Little life savers!
