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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records.

In reading this my thought was to call an aide or the RN and ask them to come to Moms room. My Mom believed the aides over me. Mom swore there was a baby in the AL. I said no, no baby here only adults. She looked at the aid standing next to me and "I'll believe you before I believe her (me)." Aide told her no babies, Mom said OK and walked away.
I would know what is coming. Discussing with admins is coming soon enough.
Meanwhile don't attempt to convince mom of anything. Give her a simple little duffle suitcase and let her pack and unpack as she pleases.
I am so sorry. My brother died of sepsis before the Lewy's could take him too far into it's own kingdom. He was thankful to be going on hospice. I was thankful and relieved for him. I will miss him so long as I live.
I suggest you buy a copy of Understanding the Dementia Experience by Jennifer Ghent-Fuller on Amazon so you can learn about dementia and how to deal with the whole situation with your mother a bit better.
Best of luck to you.
What a challenging situation that you have. I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this.
My mother also had Parkinson’s disease with dementia. At one point in time she was trying to escape out of the door. Her neurologist placed her on Seroquel and Ativan and she stopped trying to escape. Have you spoken with her doctor about meds?
Wishing you peace as you move forward on this difficult journey.
It's best for all involved to just go along with whatever your mom is saying as you must remember that "logic doesn't live here anymore"(one of my favorite sayings from my caregivers support group)with your mom, so you can't logically reason with her anymore.
When you go visit her you must leave your world behind and enter the world that she's living in now. That will make it much easier on all of you.
Best wishes.
