I'm looking for some advice.
My dad passed away last week after suffering from dementia. When he went in to the home I bought him a new TV for £300. This TV was damaged beyond repair by another resident and after a while was replaced by the care home. A few month ago this TV was damaged beyond repair also by another resident and after weeks of hassling the care home it was replaced.
Today I went to collect my dad's belongings and asked about the TV. I was shocked to be told by a member of staff that the replacement TV was Voight on the understanding it remained the property of the care home.
Surely this can't be right? I'm going back to the home tomorrow morning but guess I'll be told the same thing.
I was wondering if anybody can share their experience of this or a similar situation and what the outcome was.
Also after going through my dad's things I've found his electric shaver to be missing, which was only bought for him at Christmas.
Thanks very much in advance of any info.
