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.

I have Instagram to keep track of kids a bit . I do say a couple. There is one guy he was a doctor, his son takes care of him. Actually feels a little intrusive to me . Maybe at one point he wanted this. Who knows. I'm not judging something I have no clue about.
There is another one I like a lot she is maybe 75 , her and her daughter do a skit. Some people, on the comments can't believe that she really doesn't have dementia, it's so obvious to me. She is a good actress, but there is light in her eyes. Anyways I really like her, I think it's really informative.
And even to people that know more about dementia, than the average Joe, i think it keeps them informed. I think it's a great idea. I know a lot of people in denial of there loved ones also. It my help them open there eyes a bit
The one that's focused on skits - do you follow one that because it's lighthearted/humorous in addition to being informative? (I actually wouldn't mind see their account if you don't mind sharing.)
The father and son one, kinda gets to me, the son and family are truly awesome. But, the son ask his dad with dementia to many questions, I've left comments about it, trying to nicely explain to him.
And the dad keeps asking where his brother is , and he always tells him he died. It's kinda sad to watch. But they are so good to him, they just don't know better.
The lady and her daughter, is not funny so to say. But light hearted and informative. This morning the older one, started yelling at her daughter to get out , go away..,.
The daughter handled it all wrong
Then came on the camera to explain the correct way.
I'll get back to you on them
Give background information about yourself and the person that you are caring for. People will follow along with your journey.
Explain the ups and downs, what works for you and what doesn’t, and so on.
Later on, you can introduce guests. Or you can do a question and answer segment.
Are you interested in sharing your story or are you more interested in shedding light on caregiving in general?
I have heard podcasts hosts say that they don’t want to share their personal stories until later on in their show due to people criticizing them for their personal choices.
