Reports Of Thievery In Homes For Elderly *13 by Carl Riblet Jr. InterOcean Press Syndicate Here are two letters about -thefts from guests at homes for the elderly, or nursing homes, as they are called by some. A daughter in New England writes: "Every week or so we give our mother money to buy things in the nursing home where she has been seven years.N She is 82. The cash may be $5 "or $10, or a bit more. She buys candy, postcards, greeting cards, paperback books, magazines ~.and stamps ajid such. She is a great reader. She pays her hairdresser every week. Sometimes, the "money not spent right away amounts to as much as $17, like a few days ago. Today, that $17 is gone. To a thief, my mother says. I believe her, as her mind is clear and she knows what goes on. She had the money in a purse in th^ closet. Today the purse was empty. This has happened before. What can we do about this thievery?" - May L. A. - Not much, if anything. Employees of every kind of establishment --^ nursing homes, hospitals, grocery stores, high schools, libraries - are known to pilfer small items, including money. May L. can forestall thefts in the future by having her mother's purse always empty, and arranging with the home to carry aq account for her mother - a trust fund of, say $25v to cover items When Stephen and Marcia Baker, of Crystal Lake, brought home their newborn daughter, Julie Elizabeth, from McHenry hospital in mid-Deaember, she was presented to them'in a Christmas stocking which had been made by Mrs. Louis Szerecsen (right), a/member of the hospital's Auxiliary, who makes the stockings each year.

There wotild seem to be no way of tracing the missing money, unless the management has a pretty good idea who may have taken it. Q. - A brother writes: "We scrimped and saved to buy our 80-year-oJ# sister a 19- inch televisiorc%et. The office of the nursing home #where she has been for two years told us when we c^me to visit her this morning that the TV set was stolen last week. They could at least have told us sooner because my sister enjoyed the programs. But no more. She cries about it. The home manager kisses it off as unfortunate, he says. He said they might call the police (which I think they should have done before now), but that they can do > nothing else ,.abput it." - ( James V. I A. - The lawyers say the nursing home is probably liable. James' sister and her possessions arein their care and the home is paid for that care. The management can make an insurance report. The insurance shot adequately "provide ft replacement. If the home does not have insurance that covers theft of the TV set and then does not soon replace the set, James should report the theft to the county attorney. When the county takes ac­ tion, I think James' sister will soon be provided with a new set, equal in quality to the stolen one. TV sets stolen from paying guests) at nursing homes simply cannot be shrugged off as "unfortunate" incidents. Sometimes, I am outraged at the way people who make money off the aging turn about and treat them with indifference, surliness, and even contempt.^ f\ One way to force tne home to do what is right is to start a local fight about it. James might ask his pastor to stir up church-goers, ask his sister's doctor to talk to the management, and ask the mayor, and the councilman in James' voting district, to get on the ball. The jelderly make up about 23 percent of the voting -population, and votes of the elderly really do count. If James arouses enough people to action, he may help to set an atmosphere that could stop thefts of any more TV sets in that nursing home. The idea for James is, to fan righteous anger and marshal allies Jor^a public fight with a home for the elderly that takes advantage of the helpl&ss aged. Q - I read in your column about the volunteer teaching program at Sheldon Jackson Junior college in Sitka, Alaska. A am 68, and in goocl health, a retired librarian. I would like to teach there next summer. Please send more information." ~ Letitia G. A. - WhoaEightoletters came in from otnip ladies and from one man who want to be volunteer teachers at the college. The college doesn't have all that many openings, and it does not seem fair to Madeline B., who brought up the subject, in the first place. Give Madeline first chance to place herself at the college. If Letitia wishes to be a volunteer summer teacher, why noyrjr f«rx the staff at her local juhior college, or some otherl school nearby? Alaska is a\long way from Letitia's towffi^in Ohio. Q. - "I wanMo know how much I will gekif I go on Social Security at 62 and how muqh at 65." - Carl - A.V- The difference bet­ ween what Carl could get at 62 and 65Hs approximately 25 percent mbre at 65. Nobody at Social Security can establish the exact rate of payment unless they\have Carl's SS number so that the computers can discover how much he has paid in oyer the many years. Carl can call them and give his name and SS number. They can then tell him the correct figures for 62 or 65 in a jiffy.
