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.

Good luck in finding the right person...
No sibling lives real close to her. Closest one is 45 min, away and is quite uninterested in this problem. His words are “if she drops dead on her way walking across her yard, she will have lived a good life.’ WHAT????? So obviously no help there.
I live three hours away and am responsible for fulltime childcare for my grandchildren; she has wintered with me and my husband the last two years, but has gotten much much worse. Last year was tremendously stressful as she became argumentative and acting out towards my 5 ½ yr old, It was like babysitting for 3 kids… but not a good option this year. She was just confusing and scaring my grandchild. And I will be adding my newest grandchild in early Dec – 3 months old…. I get no help from any of my sibs. The one that lives an hour away from me comes to see her only once a winter while she is here. He agrees that there are problems – as he has dealt with in-laws with Alzheimer’s, now passed. And the sib that lives 7 hours away is in total denial. Says she is just a quirky 80 year old. NO ONE has lived with her on a daily basis but me. They all believe that I am making this stuff up. They think my husband is just exaggerating so he doesn’t have to live with her – so not true…
She doesn’t think there is anything wrong with her, and I am not sure of her reaction if I were to just show up and “ambush her” with an appointment with a specialist.
Her doc won’t do anything more than require her to see him every 3 months to get her prescriptions refilled. Notates her changes – but still does not report to any authority that she probably shouldn’t be driving any more, etc.
I am frustrated and stressed beyond belief - and this site isn’t helping – it keeps losing everything I type when I try to submit….. going to the cut and paste method with notepad!
Thanks for the advice and kind words… please keep them coming!
