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've put the purchase of a transportable Hoyer lift on the back burner for now. I originally was hoping to go on some short road trips with my LO and use a lift inside hotel rooms. Even supposedly disabled access rooms don't work for us.
We recently went on a few short day trips to see how well my husband could tolerate it and my husband got Very carsick. It wasn't fun. There's a medication hubby's neurologist prescribed for this, but unfortunately even a small dose knocks my husband almost completely out - so that's not fun either. We tried a few other motion sickness drugs that had the same effect.
So nix on the road trips and hoyer lifts for us. We don't need a Hoyer lift inside our home.
Hope you find a good solution for your needs.
I think that learning the various mechanics, choreography, and logistics of caregiving is a daunting process. It's incredibly hard to grasp and to manage everything involved, especially in the beginning when you first start caregiving. Not only is it incredibly complicated, but most of us are probably still in a state of shock about the new reality you are now navigating.
The first year after my husband's stroke I was frightened, angry, overwhelmed and exhausted. The second year I was too exhausted to be frightened - I basically became a zombie. The third year I started to master more things, and I bounced between resentment and exhaustion. Now I'm in the fourth year and things have started to get better!! Unbelievable that aging and disabilities don't always cycle in a downward direction. The world seems to be opening up again for both of us again. WOW!!!!!!!!
when i can no longer shift him.
Sounds PERFECT, I will check this out online.
I really appreciate your post.
Thank you.
