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.

Ssearch Alzheimer's anti strip clothing on Amazon. Ativan can help with agitated behavior, too, and OCD picking.
Sliding down the wheelchair does come from strokes which can cause imbalance in the body and loss of core strength in general. My mother had a terrible time with slumping over in her wheelchair after a couple of strokes. A chair cushion from physical therapy helped some, or a rough towel on the seat to prevent slipping. A wheelchair w a high,back that means BACK is your best bet, but even then it can get bad to where he's bed bound. The carers just kept lifting mom back into an upright position, over and over, basically.
Best of luck to you
There are also adult "onsies" that will help prevent him from picking at the brief.
Try redirecting him to fidget with something else. Give him a toy or something else for him to fiddle with.
My Husband chewed on things I gave him teething toy.
You could also try to get him to fold towels, pair up socks.
The block toy Jenga might give him something to do.
No matter what you give him watch if he starts to chew on anything make sure it is safe.
He will not "get it" when you try to correct him.
Redirection is the name of the game.
Try "Dad I know this bothers you how about you work on this project for a bit" Then give him something else to occupy his hands.
Give him time to react, absorb what you have said. It takes someone with any dementia a little while to hear then process what you have said.
But while you redirect him validate what he must be feeling.
I am so sorry. I wonder if it is not time to consider some placement so Dad can be moved more safely.
I hope others have better answers for you than I have.
My heart goes out to you both.
Some people have used those pad you use under rugs to keep from slipping on a chair.
