ROSEBUD RECOVERY
Small, sentimental treasures for seniors in assisted living.
A move into care means leaving most things behind. We help find the one thing that mattered.
How it works
Requirements
1. Tell us about the object. A book, a record, a photograph, a piece of jewelry, anything you might hold as a sentimental object. Describe it as best you can remember.
2. We go looking. Volunteers search estate sales, resale shops, online listings and archives for the item or its closest match.
3. We deliver it . The item is brought to your loved one, wrapped, with the story of how it was found.
To be involved in this program, you must be located in the Bay Area, around the San Francisco and San Jose area. We can accommodate you as long as there is a volunteer in your area. These are the counties we can service:
-
Alameda County
-
Contra Costa County

Marin County
-
San Francisco County
-
San Mateo County
-
Santa Clara County
Examples of items we can help you find: books, records, posters, T-shirts, stationery, furniture, accessories, jewelry, etc.
"The volunteers that helped me were able to find a necklace that my mother gave me that I lost. They were able to find one to help replace it for me, almost identical! The necklace truly meant a lot to me so I'm glad that now I have something that reminds me of my mom.”

"The young woman that helped me was extremely understanding and caring. She helped me find a set of vinyls of some songs I love, with the music artists I had listened to as a teenager that I still listen to now. She was also able to find an old record player for me, so I can listen to all of the songs directly from the vinyls.”

"I was thinking of an old poster I once had, and longed to have it again. I used this program and was able to find the same poster, which I now have! It means a lot to me that people are willing to help me find items like these, and I will be contacting them again with any future needs.”
