In 2019 my father had several dental appointments to remove all his teeth. After letting the gums heal and having a template made his new teeth were fitted Jan 2020. He loved them and was very happy. Dad is immobile and is totally reliant on nursing staff. He removed his dentures because of discomfort one day in May 2020. They weren't placed in container by staff and haven't been seen since..
Was told by the facility that they aren't liable nor will they finance a new denture set. I feel this is insensitive and unfair. My father wants his teeth, he's 85, he can't enjoy much so at least let him enjoy his food..
This is not replacing a pair of shoes or item of clothing, it is replacing part of my father..
My mother was constantly hiding her "valuables" then claiming they had been stolen when she couldn’t remember where she had hidden them. I would get calls from her asking if I knew where an item was, would go to her AL and toss her room only to find the stolen item tucked in a drawer shoe, even the fridge. She was obsessed with the thought that someone was coming into her room and stealing things.
I had no reason to believe the staff or other residents were taking things and we always found the item eventually.
