Dentures, hearing aids, glasses....It’s not just jewelry. Though a lot of times it’s not theft. It’seems that the items have been accidentally knocked into the trash or have been placed in the laundry.

If family is around often enough, these kinds of accidents and/or incidents can be avoided.

I was medical POA for a friend in a nursing home (not a good one). I bought her a pistol safe for about $50 that fit in a drawer. It had a keypad lock (also had a key that I kept) & it had holes in the bottom where it could be bolted to the drawer, which I was prepared to do, but that extreme measure proved unnecessary. She kept her money, paperwork, watch & jewelry, & other items in there that she didn’t want stolen. She would have a CNA get it out of the drawer and put it in her lap, then leave the room. She’d get into the box, lock it back up, then have a CNA put it back in the drawer. The pistol safe was something I recommended to several other families.
