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.

Did you find out why she was so deeply asleep that evening?
Aside from the medication issue I would be concerned about her sleeping in the recliner, if she has been in it during the day and also all night she is in danger of pressure ulcers because there is no ability to reposition beyond perhaps changing the angle of the chair. I would change your routines and try to get her into bed earlier, perhaps directly after supper?
As one saying goes somewhat like this: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie... in other words do not wake them up.
Especially with dementia. How hard would it be to get her asleep again? Let her sleep. give her a pill when she wakes..
Honestly.. this disease is not fun, and it takes your LO out slowly.. As Nancy Reagan said, It is the longest Goodbye..
Pill or no pill, let her rest... if you feel the need to give her meds to give her body more time here, give it to her gently and nicely when she is awake..
I really did not understand a friend when he told me: death is okay..
It is a part of life, sadly...
With all that is going on here on Earth, all over... what ever you decide with your mom, know you are good. It is Ok.. Just know you are doing your darnedest best for your LO... Do not feel guilty if you miss giving mom a dose.
I worry about my friends with cancer. What is worse: the cancer or the cure?
I certainly am listening. It doesn't sound good about either one, cancer or the cure...
I truly know about cancer, dementia and ALZ.. Lions, tigers and Bears ! Oh my
Sometimes I do feel like I am in the Wizard Of Oz.
so be safe, be positive... waking mom up for a dose or not waking her up, is okay.. just don't give her 2 doses at one time... get on a different timeline.
What meds are you worried about her missing tonight?
