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.

When I was nursing In England, I told a trainee nurse to brush everybody's dentures. She went round the (ward) unit, collected them up in a bowl, brushed them all then couldn't remember which patients they belonged to!!!
That would drive me nuts, too! Can you “misplace” them and try for new ones? I know they’re not cheap. Sanity in caregiving is worth the expense if you can handle it financially.
My guess is he has developed a nervous habit and it’s now a "thing" to him. But if he’s not wearing them that will affect their eventual ability to fit him. He needs to wear them or he will have issues keeping them in or having them hurt. What is his response when you ask him why he doesn’t want to wear them??
Have dh's dentures checked for fit. Appeal to his sense of pride (if he has one) and maybe even surreptitiously take a pic of him with them hanging half out of his mouth. My FIL wore full dentures but I did not know it until after his death and I was called to come pick up his "new ones". He was a little vain, and kept up appearances.
And my chasing down my hubby with his teeth whitening trays makes me feel a little better after reading your problem! I'd choose that over clacking dentures!
Unfortunately as we age the mouth tends to shrink. It sounds like he's enjoying the floppy teeth. Obviously, when were that age, most of us are going to tend to ignore the spouses wishes.
I haven't asked, is he sick? That to will be a added issue.
Are your husband's false teeth something new, that he has yet to get used to? Is this a lower set, which I gather can be terribly difficult to get to fit well?
