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
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

So sorry about this problem. Maybe you should talk to a professional trainer to get their take on it.
*Yes Meds could make her a zombie, of sorts. My daughter, an RN who worked NHs for 20 yrs, says its like quality over quanity. You don't want her violent either. And it takes hit and miss with meds before the right "cocktail" is found. Its not good for Mom to be this way either.
I do feel that dogs have emotions. They can express empathy like our dog did. They can also have anxiety. My daughter had a dog that experienced anxiety from an old boyfriend who mistreated him.
It’s sad that dogs become fearful. It’s understandable that they react to their surroundings.
I would speak with your vet and also consider speaking with an animal behaviorist. They may be helpful in giving advice on what is best for your dog at this time.
Wishing you and your family (including your sweet dog) all the very best.
I love dogs, and have for many years had my own and do rescue work to this day, even at 80. I have seen dreadful accidents by well meaning dogs. In one case a dog in a dogbed at the top of the stairs, his child playing with a neighbor child rushing up the stairs. His child fell over the dog on the bed and the dog tolerated this but when the neighbor child playfully jumped on the first child's back, the dog felt his boy was under attack, and bit the face of the visiting child.
This should be taken very seriously for the sake of all and I am so dreadfully sorry for it.
Separate the dog and medicate mom. She's better off a bit TOO calm than she is at this level of unmanageable behavior. I'd get her seen by a geriatric psychiatrist for an evaluation and medication recommendations.
Best of luck to you.
I actually managed to speak woth Medicare and She can get Medicare part A and B, but unlike a citizen, or someone with the required work history, she has to pay in full for the premium. So right now, her max Healthcare cost for the year if she sticks in network is $750 through the marketplace. Next year Medicare would have a base price of around $10,000 just for the premiums and deductibles.
Medicaid is hugely confusing because so many places say you are eligible after 5 years, but if you dig deeper, you actually aren't if sponsored by a family member. And states have some leeway about how to approach Medicaid.
