When Margaret arrived at her care facility, she wanted to adjust to the routine of her new home as quickly as possible. However, after only one week, things were not going as planned. One morning, she couldn’t find her slippers. Eventually, she realised that another resident had picked up her slippers by mistake. It wasn't the first time something had gone missing, as many of the residents had identical items that often got mixed up with each other’s belongings.
One day, her carer introduced her to a different approach: care home name labels. Having her name on all personal items, even her slippers, immediately made her feel a lot better. Margaret's mind was put at rest, knowing her possessions were safely identified.
With the personalised name labels, she was finally able to enjoy her new home without the constant fear of losing her things. To her, it was more than an organisational tool; it was a simple way to feel respected and keep her dignity.
