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.

It’s frustrating when she tells lies to doctors, and other professionals about her care which are blatant untruths. Unfortunately she does these things and then forgets about, any damage or hurt feelings that may have resulted from
things she says. My mantra is becoming it’s not her it’s the disease!
At a point, with my Mom, TV, dreams and reality all became one. She would get so into TV that she thought it was real. She was watching an old episode of emergency. The building exploded, she thought my house was going to, too. Our Church streams the service. I would get her dressed, fed and set up the laptop for the service. She thought she was in church and when I would come back for the laptop, she thought I was taking her home.
Their minds just wander. They no longer can reason, process or comprehend that what they r saying on doing maybe wrong. And nothing u say will make them admit they are wrong. All part of the decease.
This link is an interesting read that helps to clarify confusion from the two terms.

I just wanted the OP to know that some people with dementia do lie. My mother is one of them.
It's possible that in more advanced states that "ability" is lost as others have stated. Even with my mom, I catch her in more lies now because she isn't as savvy as she used to be when it comes to deception.
Nobody should ever say that a dementia patient is "incapable" of lying.....that is untrue and a blanket statement which cannot and does not apply to everyone. My mother has moderate dementia, it should be noted. Perhaps when she progresses to advanced or severe dementia her ability to lie will vanish, although I doubt it. Muscle memory is stronger than ANYTHING, especially for a person who's lied for 9 decades. Put nothing past them
It’s a common part of dementia. Here is an article on confabulation from this forum. Very interesting. There are many more. Use the search on this forum. As the dementia progresses it seemed to me that the confabulation stopped as the person had no or less memory to draw from, not even the faulty one.

“play” you, just ignore it.
You are being told what is their truth. They actually believe what they are telling you IS the truth. Best for all involved to not correct or argue, go along with it. Redirect, feel compassion. Drop it.
