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.

If it isn't a UTI, has your Dad been placed on any new prescription meds? Could be a side effect from the med or the med is not playing well with the other meds your Dad is taking.
It is also possible that your dad has had mini strokes that have caused the decline. My Husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I think he also had Vascular Dementia as well. There were times of a slow and steady decline then all of a sudden he would not be able to do something he had been able to do the day before.
SO it is a possibility that the 2 have caused this decline.
Is your dad on Hospice? They would be of tremendous help to you and dad.
For the longest time I wanted to evaluate and understand and even diagnose from day to day... but the fact is that there were a lot of ups and downs...even hourly changes. If he doesn't have a UTI there isn't much you can do except accept what is.
I finally agreed to Hospice in May and he is in a good memory care. It has been helpful to have him around people who deal with this all the time and to stop trying to "fix" things... I highly recommend giving them a call. You don't have to commit to signing him into hospice/
As far as strokes are concerned, he could be having them & you'd never know it. Only medical imaging would confirm that he's had strokes and not always then, either.
Best of luck with a difficult situation
In some situations, previous symptoms for the same condition can be different, or symptoms that occurred for something several times can also show up in something new.
Sometimes changes can take a long time to appear, but also can appear relatively quickly.
Get another opinion. You’ll feel better for having done so.
