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 use my hankie to wipe her nose while she wore hers as a folded head cover.
I often call her "booger', then ask, "do you know why I call you booger?".
"Because I picked you.
One day, as she was pacing and growling, I said "Hey booger!"
She paused and said "pick".
That one fleeting moment was worth everything to me.
I got it right.
Too many to tell actually.
Dad sings wherever he goes or talks to himself. So we always laugh and ask whom we was singing or talking too. He would say myself or Jesus and laugh. I think the funniest one with him was when my daughter was showing him her new drone she had gotten for Christmas. Well it was coming toward him and I guess he thought it was going to get him and he let out a loud squeal. Never heard him scream so loud.
Then one day we were dining at a casino in atlantic city, and he asked the waiter for a Coke. and the waiter goes "Do you want liquid or Powder?" and my father looked at him funny and said "Why, it comes in powder too?" Soda came flying out of my mother's nose!
He always had the personality of a "Kid in a candy store" which is what I loved most about him. Lots of little things gave him the biggest joy...One day my husband visited him from work when he was at rehab, and he started playing with his Badge! He was pulling it, reading his name, pointing to it, and all of a sudden it snapped back, and he jumped and then let out a hearty laugh, because he wasn't expecting it.
There are so many memories...that will always make me smile.
Luz was getting careless while eating and some food either got onto her shirt or the floor or both. So I started putting a napkin on her to help keep her clean. I told her I was going to get her a bib.
Well we have this little decorative thing hanging on the fridge and I always thought it was some sort of kitchen towel.
One day Luz started wearing this thing since it had a string on it to tie it with. She put that thing around her neck and started wearing it all of the time. It turns out that it was in fact a bib that she had bought some where. And I let her wear it around the house and in public if she wanted.
That lasted just over a week then, she quit wearing it. I should have taken a picture of her wearing it.
There are other stories, when I remember them.
Well, the tables had turned, and when I'd give Mom a boost into my truck, I'd have to give her bottom a push up with an "Up, fanny!" My back-east-formal would feint shock, "What did you say!?" We'd repeat it all.
We'd end up laughing so much it was REALLY hard to get her up in the truck!
