Does a nursing home replace items they’ve misplaced?

Ah I joy, he hasn’t been in therapy so that’s out. I didn’t think I had to put his name on his footrests and cushions or I would have. I’m so tired of this and he’s only been in 4 months. Argh!

Well dad has lost both of his hearing aids already. and they checked his room with a fine tooth comb and the laundry. Never found them. So we had to choke out another $3800. That was fun!
It just seems to me they should be responsible for his wheelchair items. I’ve talked to the care coordinator and sent an email to her, the DON and the administrator. Will see what they say. I can only fight so many battles but I’m getting tired of things disappearing.

My mom’s nursing home misplaced her things, too. And she also threw them out. (Usually out the door). Once, they said they were having her easy chair cleaned because she’d had an accident in it. I never saw the chair again. But I understand how you feel. Go to administration and report the losses. Is it possible it was left in physical therapy if he has therapy sessions? Drop a mention to the floor nurse and his aides, or even to the director of nursing.

Make sure your father’s name is on EVERYTHING. Use masking tape and permanent marker on his footrests. Also, don’t bring in irreplaceable items.
