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.

If he's hiding his money in the house make sure it's in a fireproof box. Having his money in a bank doesn't get him anything nowadays anyway. Banks do have federal backing but with a $3 trillion deficit, I don't take any comfort in that.
We attended Mass every Sunday and Holy Days. We went to confession once a month and went to Mass on First Fridays. Our church did have daily Mass for those who wished to attend but it isn’t required to do so.
Do you feel that his desire for frequent confessions stems more from his dementia than his religion?
Has he had a priest visit him? The priest will visit, hear confession and serve communion. I would explain his circumstances to the priest so he will understand your dad’s health situation.
As far as confession is concerned, he keeps telling me that he hadn't been a good person his whole life., and now he wants to make amends bc he thinks he's going to hell and he's worried about eternity. Trouble is that he's dragging us into his guilt. It's a real obssession with him but I can't argue with him, it's his reality now.
Okay, thanks for the additional information. I think he should be evaluated again. He may need his meds adjusted. Has he been tested for other issues such as an UTI?
Call a priest if you feel it may help. Speak to the priest beforehand so the priest is aware of his condition. Inform the priest that if it isn’t going well, to leave and let you know what happened.
I know that this is unnerving for you. I wish there was a simple answer but in some cases there are no easy solutions.
Vent anytime and let us know how you are doing. We care.
