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.

If the MRI shows no damage to the left or the right side, l then would order a blood work panel. Balance training at a local PT office would help.\\ Age: ?
Daily Routine? (Reading materials, TV, Pet Care) Meals containing enough protein? At this time, I would rule out Dementia.
Father had the same issue. One day the walker was fin and the next we were ordering a wheel chair through Medicare. He was one month in the wheel chair and got pissed and started using the walker again. Falling while using a walker is often a balance thing. It is also, quite common, that he was never trained properly in the walkers us. Most Medicare/Medicaid plans allow for physical therapy. Look into this. What causes this, I don't know. It is old age, but with my Dad there was a better outcome with therapy and teaching and he is out of the wheel chair using his 'pusher'. He is very weak and can't go far, but...
Hang in there and see what transpires.
1 ask him to smile if one side droups,
2 stick out his tongue if rolls to one side or the other
3 ask him to repeat a sentence or phrase
4 have him raise his arms in the air see if both go up equilly
5 have him grasp both hand squise and while laying in bed push or lift his legs
if any or more that one occures contact your physician
go to internet and look for signs of a stroke this is what you'll find
I had friend who had mini strokes and within short time everything seemed fine but as the strokes continued the effects stayed longer, Weakness can appear in one side or the other depending on where the stroke appeared. When a stroke appears most say take asprin right away and call for transport to hospital where medication can be given that will work during the first hour. Good luck.
