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.

There was consideration given to.having them together, but it would have been too exhausting for him. Assisted living, sharing an apartment would have been just too much responsibility for him. Or he living with mom in memory care would have been very hard for him. Lack of stimulation and interesting conversation for him wouldn't work either.I
Tye levels of care they needed was just very different.

I set up a checklist for caregivers to cover all the things I expect them to do daily including taking my wife for walks twice daily. Fortunately she is physically healthy.
I am open to any suggestions anyone might have regarding how to better organize the day to provide better care. Even after two years needs seem yo change almost daily. Any and all ideas will be appreciated.
She’s very comforted having him with her and he feels like he can give her - as best as he can - loving attention. She has adequate freedom to move about meeting friends along the way while SD stays in the room reading etc. but, they’re safe and well attended to.
Of course, the supportive care and attention they receive daily from the staff is wonderful and that makes all the difference in comfort and continuity of care. They are attentive, knowledgeable and so supportive to them and me. So, while, there are always challenges, separating them would not be helpful for either of them at this point. It can work with the right balance of good relationship(s) and professional support. It may not last as her condition does deteriorate - as will his - but for now, they are comfortable, safe and happy.
My in-laws also lived together in AL when my FIL was independent and my MIL had dementia. With worsening dementia she moved to the MC floor and my FIL stayed in AL (still independent but there were no independent units in the facility). They were also able to visit daily. That was in CO.
