Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I should add that my Dad mentioned to me that he lost his teeth. He lost a few sets before entering long term care. I know that especially with dementia, they can be taken out anywhere, rolled in a napkin and probably end up in the waste basket. I am now replacing his teeth again, but to take him to these appointments is becoming increasingly difficult as his dementia worsens. He is on pureed food regardless and sometimes I wonder if I am replacing them for him or my own guilt.
OK, call me a bit confused. IS the facility calling you and telling you that he has lost dentures and you just replace them? Is it possible that they are just saying he lost them and they "pocket" the money that is sent to replace them? Or is dad calling to say they are lost? If that is the case I would have the facility check his plate after a meal before tossing everything out. How many have you paid to replace? Do you visit? or are you remote carring/advocating for your dad? What medical issues does your dad have that he is in Long Term Care? (I presume this is Skilled Nursing or is it Assisted Living or Memory Care? ) Is dad eating solid food or is he eating pureed food at this time? He may not even need the dentures. If the facility is not doing proper oral care having dentures might be a problem if they are placing uncleaned dentures in his mouth. And are they properly cleaning his mouth as well as the dentures. At some point not having to deal with the dentures might be a benefit
Do a google search (lost denture agingcare.com) without the parenthesis. So much information in those posts. I found it earlier in the year when the nursing home tried to repair dad's dentures with cement or something else weird (they were horrible looking and I didn't want him to use anymore). This last place lost them completely.
He misses them and asks every time I give him a meal but has no problem at all eating as long as it is nothing hard. For appearance purposes, I'm trying to see if anyone can produce something cheaper than 1500 for each plate. Great price if they could be kept up with but not so much if you have to keep replacing.
These posts should pull when you do your search.

Not sure what you mean by "not even sure" he is missing his teeth? Is he calling and telling you he lost them? Or is the facility telling you? Sometimes the residents remove them to eat and put them on the tray under napkins and food and they accidentally get thrown out. Sometimes people with dementia will hide them in their room (this is what one of my aunts did). I would start by verifying they are actually lost by having a thorough search of his room. If they are indeed lost you will need to weigh the cost and hassle of replacing them with whether they contribute to his quality of life.
