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").

While dad didn't enjoy any surges of energy during his hospice experience, I have read about many who have. It must be very surreal to watch your mom up and about, like she once was, doing laundry and cleaning! Like a blast from the past, huh? Sending you a big hug and a prayer that God helps the two of you through this difficult time.
Getting upset over these different stages she seems to be going through doesn't help anyone, and only increases your stress level.
Everyone's death journey is different, and just because she's been under hospice care now for 6 months doesn't mean that she will die any day now.
My husband was under hospice care in our home for 22 months and he had "congestion" in his lungs for about the last 6 months of his life, so that doesn't really mean much of anything.
And while this could mean that she in fact is "rallying," it also may not mean that. So please, spend as much time as you can with her, say everything you need to(leave nothing left unsaid)and just enjoy each other, as there will come a day soon enough that you will wish that she was still here for you to care for.
I pray for God's peace to cover you in the days ahead.

yes I’ve heard of this so called surge. It’s just so weird and scarey. I’m so very afraid after this she won’t bounce back. I read the article on the link you posted. Thank you for the info
