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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

Photography is what another switched to. This will be hard for him and you. I’m sorry you are dealing with it. Perhaps you can find a support group in your area where others have dealt with the same.
Dementia is a terrible thing, it takes away a person's autonomy and ability to reason by inches.
Personally I would not have guns in the house if there is a demented or mentally ill adult in the home.
At first we thought we'd just unload them all and take all the bullets. But then we worried he would be outside waving a gun around, and police aren't going to know it's unloaded. He was having hallucinations of people looking in the window, or people in the yard, and we were afraid he'd try to shoot them. He gave up driving after his ophthalmologist said he was done. But he was mad about his guns being gone until the day he died. "But I need them if someone breaks in!" was his argument... they lived in a very safe neighborhood with the police station not 5 minutes away!
Maybe if he has someone with him, he can sit in a deer stand without any sort of ammo (including bow and arrow, yikes!). Just to have the experience of being in nature. He doesn't need all those guns if he hasn't ever shot a deer, really.
I would get someone to load his ammo as blanks and let him go hunting.
I don't ever want to take away activities that give my loved ones something to look forward to. I figure if it kills them at least they died happy.
Please work with someone that can disable the bow and load blanks to ensure that he doesn't hurt anyone and let him build his blinds and sit out in nature feeling like the man he was.
Doctors don't know everything, regardless of what they think. They don't consider our overall wellbeing, most just want to use us as science experiments.

I see that your August 12th message got posted three times. I had the same issue until I double-verified that two identicals were posted. So, next time, I got it and edited the second message. Bottom line: the activated Post Answer button does not always disappear but provides opportunities to do additional postings.
