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 imagine that typically you help in just this position. Her sitting and you helping to manage the change. So with the sleep disorder there is not to normal division of inhibition and disinhibtion for we normal folks. Normally we will awaken no matter how bad we have to "go". We may in fact DREAM about looking for a bathroom, finally awaken and understand WHY we were dreaming because we need to make a beeline for the bathroom.
You will soon enough know if this is going to be a problem ongoing or not.
You are here dealing with so many things I cannot honestly even begin to imagine how you are managing. You don't say how much support or help you have, or for what hours. But I would say that you will have likely soon enough to make some decisions about placement. Sadly your partner isn't going to be an "easy" placement due to diabetes management, and such things piled on as sleeping disorder. She will likely require memory care.
I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through. There is little I can say to help you.
I am a sleepwalker and have been sleepwalking since I was a kid. We can’t control it and don’t know what we are doing when we are roaming around the house.
Sometimes, we wake up when we bump into something.
We have no memory of sleep walking because we are totally asleep when doing it.
According to your profile, you are dealing with several issues. I am sorry that you are going through this. Please enlist help to assist with the care or consider placing your partner in a facility.
Here is a link to a handbook you can download that covers dementia and a stoma. It is from the UK but has some good ideas on how to dress the person who is fiddling with the bag or removing it.
Hope this helps.
