We hear so many negative things about how seniors residences are run and about the staff, well listen to this one....
The mother of a family I downsized into a long term care facility still wore her wedding rings. They could not slip off her finger so there they stayed. Upon a recent visit it was noted that one of the claws, holding the diamond, had been caught on something and the diamond was gone. It had been 3 weeks and nothing had turned up. I equate this to finding a needle in a haystack, the stone could be anywhere! The family asked that the rings be removed as the open claws on the ring were very sharp and could harm someone. When the rings were picked up there was a "diamond like" stone in the package. The staff had found a stone but thought it was a rhinestone off someone's costume jewellry but put it in the envelope just in case. Upon having a gem smith examine the stone it turns out the actual diamond had been found!
A HUGE thank you goes out to the very dedicated and loving staff at this facility.
