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.

I would mention anything you notice and maybe the time of day. My grandson usually had a seizure when napping. He would suddenly sit up and have a seizure.
You have some time on your hands. Why not look up for us what constitutes the various stages in dementia and let us know where you find it. I think it just must be out there on the internet waiting for us.
Pardon me, I should have mentioned he is my roommate 🙂, so I see (and hear) first hand.
Yes I did look it up, before posting this thread/question.
As I mentioned and to give more information he still remembers both his brothers when either one comes to pick him up, as well as some staff, but the times to go smoking and the aforementioned nutty buddy bars he usually forgets. He also has started hoarding around his bed on and the bedside table, but not the floor.
This thread is really to try to help him.
Oh yes, it is hard most of the time not to say "don't you remember," a phrase that is advised not to say to a person who may have cognitive decline.
I think my Husband also had Vascular Dementia and I would notice a marked decline on occasion and I suspect that it was each of these times that he may have had a mini stroke that brought on the decline.
I would think if you are noticing problems then staff has as well,.
This did bring a smile to my face as my Husband also LOVED Nutty Buddy Bars. (he was on a mission to get some on one of the occasions he "escaped")
Thank You as well. His family may know. He's trying to get discharged, but sadly, he couldn't live on his own. He's only in his late 50s
Lol thanks for the story about your husband. Yes, he also loves Nutty Buddy's ( I got him a big box today, anonymously). He is so happy.
He may have been confused at the time he received the treats and even though he may get better mentally, remain confused about the circumstances that occurred on those days.
Here is a link to an article from a very good source.

Thanks so much!!
Thank you. His PCP is the nursing home doctor/NP, who ironically, just left.
