Doesn't that kind of stuff get stored in the facilities' safe?
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma was put into a facility. A few days later, when I went to see her, her hand and her arm were bruised. And especially her fingers. The facility said she fell out of bed. Grandma told a different story. She said 3 women came into her room at night and told her to hand over her wedding ring. Grandma refused. They took them.
ReplyDeleteCarole I sure hope you spoke to someone about that. I work in a home and any complaint gets looked in for sure.
