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.

I don't know exactly how to feel about that actually, I heard he just got diagnosed with cancer. I feel deeply for the ones that found him, when he didn't show for his weekly breakfast out, they went to check on him.
Seeing that I'm a more eat to live kind of person. I find it interesting anyways
Lingering in poor health is not a privilege, it is a curse.
Looking at my aunt, it really makes me not want to get old. She's lingering and immobile and dependent with limited family around. She's never had children, like myself. I don't want to be this way. It's really made me think hard about aging. Aging is cruel. I said it.
I'm really really realizing how lucky I am in that.
I saw an Instagram post , someone said I'm going to die because my children are going to unplug me to charge there phones. Which may be my mom's worry. 😵💫😛
I have also seen people linger for years. I think some people want to and then I have heard some say they do not want to linger once they get to certain point. My dad has said that he wants everything done medically for him that can be done and if that if he becomes severally ill, and there is nothing more they can do, he would rather go on. So the decision is in my hands and it would be hard one even though I know his wishes.
Which is good that I'm more prepared for that, and I think this will be my mother, because she is so stubborn and has a fear of death, with a deteorating back.
So I expected this to be her future, and know now is the time to let go, let God , with moms issues. There is no way I can hold onto the stress that I was holding onto for years to come.
AC opened my eyes to this and I'm Greatfull, also know that's not what I want for me!!
Deal with your pain when you get home, then try the best you can to shake it off. Tell yourself over and over, I did the best that I can and I deserve happiness.
You say it enough times , you really do start to believe it.
