Default Loss of hearing aids at nursing home

My mother was transferred from the hospital to a skilled nursing facility for short term care in The Villages last evening. I wheeled her to a gathering area after dinner and she had a cup of coffee. We returned to her room and I left at 7 p.m. with her hearing aids in. The box that she stores them in was on her bed table. She has to call for help to leave the bed. This morning when I arrived the hearing aids were missing but the box was on the table. I filed a grievance but indications were that they aren't responsible. Of course I will be actively following up with the personnel. I believe it is more likely negligence than theft. I just ordered new specialty ones at over $4000. Has anyone had a similar experience and what was the outcome?
