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.

Now, I can see taking an individual vitamin like D and B12 if one's blood test showed you were low... but do we really need all those other vitamins?
veterans might be the pioneers in this concept . i say that because during the D - DAY anniversary this year some of the old paratroopers made mention of the two syringes they carried with them . 1 shot for pain , 2 shots for eternity .
often a vet will pull into a va parking lot and eat all of his pain patches . of course it kills him . that was his intent ..
sorry about getting so off topic . a male nurse came outside NH today and gave aunt edna a pill in some applesauce . she went thru the same old ' kid with the guy , make sour faces , routine . i gave her a drink of coke that seemed to make the pill go down fine . as he walked away she spit a stool softener pill into her hand and tossed it in the grass .. WTH is that defiant old gal up to ? shes made mention a few times that she has no use for the prospect of the dying process . i think shes tossing out meds cause she doesnt want to be sustained any longer .
* sigh *
im still off topic , as always ..
its just that ive rationed her daily meds to her for the last year and she always takes them . i think she no longer WANTS them .. trippy . i think its her equivalent of euthanasia . of course i let the nurse know what she did . i wouldnt want her turning down needed comfort drugs now or later ..
I always wondered about the dosage that are prescribed.... same dosage if the person is tiny petit or if the person is football player size.
I've always been one to cut my pills in halves or in quarters as a trial run... with my doctor knowing I am doing that. Depend on the medical issue, a half a pill works just as well for me, thus less side effect.
Doctors are very frustrated when a patient just wants a pill instead of losing weight and getting exercise. We are over medicated by choice, not by doctors.
