The administrator stated that R1 did not have any items upon admission except for dentures. Staff acknowledged R1 wears dentures and were informed that R1 lost them recently. R1 could not recall if it was thrown away by mistake. One of the staff remembers seeing R1 with a computer but stated R1 has not used it since. Staff denied taking any of R1’s belongings. Staff stated R1 gets visitors often and do not know if the visitors took it with them. R1 had misplaced things in the past but was later found.
