The decision to place a loved one in a senior's facility or for seniors who decide to stay in their home as long as possible can be difficult for the senior and the other family members.
Sometimes, there's a need for comfort from home to be with them, while you or others cannot be with them full time. Just to share, some facilities may restrict certain items for their own reasons. However, when there's an opportunity to give, it's nice to be able to provide the warmth that your gift can make.

When I took items for my husband in assisted living they disappeared/ stolen. Be aware of whom you send them too!
June Bonfield says
Yes this happens often....when we took our beautiful afghans to seniors in nursing homes, we went to management and got those cloth nametags and sewed then on with resipients name clearly on !
It did help with the stealing.

It happens all the time and not just with blankets. My Husbands Grandmother was in an Alzheimer’s unit and when his Mom went every single day she would tell him something was missing, Grandma’s clothes , her Dolly, blanket, it was awful 😢
