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").

D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

-Medication side effects, specifically those that target dopamine, like those used for treating Parkinson's disease
-Medical conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Kleine-Levin syndrome, and other neurological conditions
-Disruption or imbalance in neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine
-Past trauma, which may lead to hypersexuality as a coping mechanism
You should probably ask about checking for any brain abnormalities or new medications that could be contributing to this.
Sit him down and tell him exactly where you stand, you are not an accommodating blow up doll, you are a human with a mind of your own.
Most men hit a sort of menopause of their own when testosterone levels go down during aging. Reassure me that he is not being given any testosterone by his GP.
So in all truth you are not noticing ANYTHING else.
Because hypersexual behavior that wasn't there before most often indicates some dementia.
They say that, and executive functions being a bit "off" are some of the early signs.
I would be honest with him, that you are attempting to accommodate as you say, but that you have your limits. First decide what those limits are for yourself, then explain them to you.
What do you mean by "He does not have a dementia diagnosis." According to who? Perhaps he just hasn't been diagnosed yet...?
Has he ever had a cognitive test? Or, are you getting this information from him?
Maybe it's time to discuss this with his doctor because it is one of the many behaviors that can come with FTD and other dementias.
"Hypersexuality and inappropriate sexual behaviour (ISB) may be the first symptoms of early onset frontal dementia. Frontal cortical brain atrophy on MRI is important for diagnosis. ISB may be under control with risperidone and olanzapine treatment."
