Find Care & Housing

Yes. My mom has been in a nursing home since mid November and it started with her clothes. I have yet to see moms cloths on anyone else but every week when I straighten up her room and redo her closet - the staff is not good at putting her clothes away neatly and I'm kinda anal in that department- anyhow - there is always strange clothing. It's my routine that I now fold the mystery items and stack them in a particular spot and they disappear by my next visit. Often I'll later see the mystery clothes on a resident. To be honest - I don't really sweat it as the place is great other than that. Only once- I had given my mom three new nightgowns for Mother's Day and they disappeared in a week. I did complain about that - they reappeared two weeks later and haven't gone missing since. The only two things I'd freak over would be her glasses as she'd be blind without them and her hearing aides which are fairly new and were crazy expensive. Luckily- these items are always accounted for. I'd say - pick your battles but if I were you I'd mention the glasses as I imagine they probably cost you a bit.

These are all good questions, I'm trying to put myself in your shoes....my Mom has recently moved into memory care, and I would probably be bothered by those things. Ultimately, if she were unhappy about it then I would be inclined to address it. If she is OK, then I might decide to hold off. You could always try labeling your husbands clothes...I think you can order iron on labels. the shoes could be an issue...the wrong size might be a pretty bad tripping hazard.
