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.

Please keep us updated about your Mom.
Thanks for responding. How is your mother now? I think with being legally blind 14 years, drinking and age she is 76 will be 77 in July. Only I believe it might be frontal lobe because the internet has been my only friend and that seems like an aggressive Dementia. They say Dementia with behavioral problems. She did do a lot of falling in those 14 years. At home and going home from the bar. People have literally picked her up from the road or side walk thank goodness she lived in a small town.
I will come back and and let people know my experiences so maybe they will know what to expect next. I'm AFRAID and lonely!
My Mom changed suddenly in April 2017. On Saturday, April 22th, we attended her grandson's wedding in another state--a 5+ hour drive. On Sunday, April 23rd, 30 minutes after we got home, Mom was admitted to the hospital via ER, and on Monday, April 24th, my Mom had changed from the social, talkative, independent person who was my roommate for 9 years into someone who needed assistance with transfers, getting dressed, eating, and using the bathroom. She now resides in a LTC Memory Care Unit.
Thanks I will try that website. They have assigned me a case worker. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. My mom will self pay for a few months. The case worker ask me today did I want to take her back home. I said NO. Not unless you can let her go to where she lived and get people to help. They said they couldn't do that because doctor says she needs memory care. After having a mom who had a great Christmas with a sound mind to not being able to put a sentence together in March 2018. Of course she had the normal things not remembering a word here and there. To quickly not even know who I am or wanting dead family members phone numbers.
Thank you so much and may God Bless everyone that ever has been through this disease or experiencing it now. The worse part is my husband is 700 miles away where our true home is for now. We have two. My husband and I decided after mom's last jail time we would sale the other house and get back here with mom full time. He has a job lined up and everything. Just can't get there to help him. He has to work because we have two house payments.
How stressful for you. I really empathize with all you must have gone through for many years. Alcoholism is a disease that robs us of our loved ones in a particularly cruel way. Have you used the Eldercare.gov website to locate a nursing home?
Here is a link to the Medicare website that has a useful tool to compare nursing homes for quality issues:

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. Please take care
I wish you the best,
Margaret
