February 9, 2009 - Keeping Valuables Safe

Dear Ted,

1. Maintain an insurance policy on items of high value.
2. Have the associated experts label eye glasses, dentures, hearing aides and expensive diamonds (jewelers can label microscopically)
3. Photograph all items for insurance claims and/or to help the staff in an all out search.
4. If the older adult is confused and misplacing items, consider switching out the real jewelry for look-alikes.
5. Senior communities are not responsible for lost or stolen valuables.
