I have some receipts made up, one general one and one for meals. I created these for a resident who became agitated, particularly at meal times when he couldn't pay. When he is given a receipt he relaxes and will eat because he believes he has already paid for his meal. The other receipt works in more general circumstances. Remember to check pockets after though before they go through the washing machine!!
