My mum has recently gone into dementia care. During this time some of her possessions have gone missing. The home are investigating and at the moment I am happy for them to carry on before I take any further action. My concern is that her room is always open and other residents wander. They have suggested that mum has a key, but she can no longer remember how a lock and key work so its completely pointless. The home have said they are unable to keep her room locked as she needs the freedom to come and go to her room as she pleases. That's fine and and I do understand but I wondered if that is a general policy at care homes.
Obviously I have now removed anything of value from her room.
