Can the assisted living facility be held responsible for stolen jewelry?

My jewelry was stolen from my room out of a locked box while I was hospitalized and my room was left unsecured for three days during my hospital stay

Hi Jackie
I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you are feeling better now. It must be awful to come home and find insult added to injury with your things missing.
I would look at your contract and see what it says about theft. I know most hospitals and NH suggest not to bring things of value. Perhaps call the police and make a report and for sure alert the office of your building that there is a thief among those having access to the property.
Would you have photos of your jewelry? That might be helpful.
Perhaps others will come along with better suggestions.
Again, I'm very sorry. Hugs
