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've been looking forward to this very much. It's so hard to be with many family members without this vacation we do annually. Thanks again.
I know it won't happen but it's just a dream!
No one depending on me...
Eat when I want and whatever I want...
Being responsible for only "me"!!!
Then be able to go somewhere and breathe fresh air.
To be able to not rush home worrying about what she is getting into.
Omg I cannot WAIT to throw away all her junk when she goes into a home.
I just want to sit alone on a porch and watch the sun go down over the ocean.
Then I was dreaming of having my own space again and living WITH my husband instead of my mom...and tomorrow we by the condo downstairs...ok not exactly far away but I am hoping allows for care giving but also a life outside of that.
I wish everyone well with all their projects while doing this demanding job of caregiving....we need to think of ourselves too, if only for a little time, and find a balance if and when we can.
On the plus side, I have taken up running, something I always wanted to pursue but never had the schedule to keep with it. I started out walking every day last year to get out of the house and preserve my sanity, and then tried running a bit to change things up. I was appalled by how difficult running had become, 10 paces and I was done! Sticking to a walk run program was difficult through the winter, but I can now run several kilometres. I'm trying to work up to 5K so I can join in an organized run this fall... wish me luck!
Im so proud of her !... so tomorrow AM as soon as the aide gets here Im out the door with my box of tissues !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taking control and coming up with a plan or at least ideas that could lead to a plan can really be life changing...give it a try!
no , 20 minutes ..
Also: My birthday is coming up and there is a science workshop at the Aquarium in Boston on that day. I signed up to go. Wow an entire day at the aquarium doing science - cool. Called my sister and told her she needs to visit mom next Sat. I wonder If I can wangle a night at the hotel near the aquarium??? Now I know I am dreaming!!! My son usually is a good bet but he has this new wonderful son and is still figuring out how to deal with only 2 hours of sleep at a time...hee hee care giving is fun at any age!
