HOW CAN YOU HELP WITH

MISSING PERSONAL

ITEMS?

In an a)empt to be)er

manage con nued concerns with missing items including

clothing, dentures, hearing aids, and glasses—we have re-

vised our policy and procedures and want to make you

aware of a few changes:

Please be sure that you are labeling any new glasses,

dentures, and hearing aids as you bring them in—

these can o;en be etched by the provider you pur-

chase them from.

Please be sure you are taking all clothing to the laun-

dry room to be properly labeled, even if you are

doing the laundry because things do s ll o;en end

up being placed in our laundry for various reasons.

There is a new form that laundry staff will require

you to turn in WITH all clothing to be labeled—

they cannot accept the clothes without the com-

pleted form. You can obtain this form at the nurs-

ing sta on or from laundry staff.

The facility is NOT responsible for replacing things that

have not been properly labeled when brought in—the new

forms will help us to track these items so that we know

what we have labeled for reimbursement if necessary. We

also have a new form to assist in hopefully loca ng missing

items and to determine the outcome if unable to locate—

you can obtain these forms as needed from the nursing

sta on. Please be aware that all items without proper la-

beling are only kept in our lost and found for 14 days due

to limited storage space.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in working with

us to make sure all items belonging to residents are

properly labeled prior to being used.
