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.

Have you noticed that they Now include on the bottle that when you take calcium pills to drink a full glass of water? The same as when you take acetominophen - which damages the liver.
People drink soy milk for the calcium because they are lactose intolerant. If they did their research, they will find that our bodies have a harder time absorbing the calcium in soy milk. And what it does absorb is not as much as we hope it does. So, best source is try to taking your calcium via real food like cheese, yogurt, tuna with the bones, etc....
Regarding the UTI topic.. (I learned this first hand). My Doctor put me on Vitamin D and the UTI's started happening. I hadn't had any in over 20 years until then. When I stopped the Vitamin D, the UTI's stopped.
Quote from mayoclinic: "Excess vitamin D intake may increase the risk of falls or fractures. Other potential adverse effects include increased risk of urinary tract infections,..."
I believe all bone density meds have a lot of major side effects. One is that it does make your hips brittle or easy to fracture. Another is locked jaws. You need to weigh the pros and cons. Brittle bones all over or that. I had warned sis of this when she started taking bone density med. She stopped taking it when her jaws started hurting.
Did you also know that Cipro, for UTI, can also cause your muscle (tendons) from detaching from your bone (usually the leg)? When I had UTI, I read it up when I got home. It may happen after so many use. I still took it but only lasted 3days before the stomach pain got too painful. Since then, my doc prescribes different meds each time n I have no problem with it.
