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.

does your mom see a geriatric dr ? I feel they are more understanding than just a family practice or general dr./primary
my mom uses a walker because she had a bad fall a couple months ago. I was surprised she actually uses it. she will complain. ~I don't need it.~ I tell her "dr's orders".... I bought her a Rollator walker. other wise the other one she had. she would fold it up and stick it back in closet.
my mom will be 89 soon and her memory is about 1 minute long. plus confused. plus bad judgment etc etc. My mom is still very mobile.
sometimes I don't even know how she gets by anymore.
she takes a low anti-depressant prescribed by a geriatric dr. - I think it helps a little. calms her down. she still has lots of problems. (but she's not aware of any. she thinks she just fine...)
She was the one who wanted to find a facility while she still could make the decision. She chose this one and was ok with living there for a while. She's lived there for over a year now and because of being a brittle diabetic, has been hospitalized many times over the past year (8-10 times) followed by stays at several rehabs. She's cognitively much worse now and cries and begs to go home. When we remind her that she can't live alone, she asks to live with her mother and other deceased family members. She's getting angry at us when we redirect her or tell her that for now she has to stay there until they can regulate her sugar and stop her frequent falling. Anyway, we are trying to 'go along' with her that this is temporary but it's getting more and more difficult. She thinks everyone is stealing from her and makes up very detailed fabrications of things. She refuses to socialize and is getting mean and resentful. We just don't know what to do because every visit (there are 3 of us and we visit almost every day.
Best thing to do is play along. Use "theraputic fibs" such as "the house is being fixed, we would need to wait a couple of weeks", or whatever you think Mom would believe at that moment.
