By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or

Knowing that our loved ones are with The Lord and just waiting for us is such a wonderful thing. I always rejoice when I read that people know that their loved ones are with The Lord, it helps with the pain of our loss to know that they are no longer suffering.
Great big warm hug!🤗🤗
What a wonderful way to think of him, Tamara. I'm so sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your family comfort.
My sweet Daddy went home to be with Jesus Saturday night! My hurt hurts so bad, I miss him so much! I know he is no longer suffering or in pain. He is with his Mom & Dad. Shoot, I bet he has his fishing pole out in the river already. That comforts my heart! Thank you all for your kindness towards me and my family during this time! I appreciate all of you! God Bless you!
I hope you will keep us posted.
Hugs! God be with you all!
They will help you and your dad.
All Hospice are open 24/7/365 give one a call today and they will evaluate your dad and start services right away. He will have a Nurse come in once a week, more often if they thin it is needed, sometimes they will have a nurse visit daily.
Now for you, and your dad.
Continue to offer food and water but do not push him to eat or drink.
If fluids like water get difficult for him, he may choke you can get products to thicken the liquids. (Hospice will provide this as well)
To anticipate some of the changes read a pamphlet on line that might help. It is called "Crossing the Creek" It explains a lot about what changes your dad will be going through.
((Hugs)) and prayers for both of you.
Your dad is a lucky man to have such a caring daughter.
If you can, go get and read the book called Final Gifts by Maggie Callahan and Patricia Kelly. It's about end of life and what the dying persons need and communicate before they die. Some even give a glimpse of what's waiting for them, a place so warm, bright, beautiful and full of love, with loved ones waiting for them.
Wishing you peace and love and that your father will transition quickly and peacefully.
God bless you and may HE give you strength and peace during this difficult time.
Great big warm hug!
Touch is very important. You are doing what you need to. Continue to hold his hand, massage and sponge him and offer him comfort. And talk to him. Recall better days and reminisce.
So the important thing to do now is to spend as much time with your dad as you can and say what you need to say before it's too late. Praying for God's peace and comfort to be with you in the days ahead.
