Hi - I am a long-time lurker on Talking Point - finally joined today. I was just wondering if anyone has any information about how to insure items in a care home. My Mum (who has Alzheimers) has been in a home for a couple of months and has some items of jewellery that she won't relinquish and which I don't really want to take from her. The items are good pieces of jewellery and she wears them all the time, but obviously I am worried if they go missing or get mislaid. Her home contents insurance won't cover them - have been through all of that to get the house insurance changed to unoccupied. The care home (who are lovely) can't help either. I have done a quick internet search, but can't seem to find anything relevant.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, how did you sort it and is there any insurance company you know would provide cover - and that you would recommend?
