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.

In a nut shell,, the answer in her case simply is not available. My goal is to continue to love her and to make her life as easy and comfortable as possible. We all remember that oath that we took when we went through our marriages. Living up to that promise is the best we can do --"Depends" and all.
There are certain symptoms of stroke. Your doctor should be able to explain them to you. In my wife's case, she will have a droopy left eye combined with an increase of her confusion. But, there isn't a damned thing that I, as her primary care giver, can do but see to it that she gets her meds on schedule.
Apparently, neither Evolution nor any other source of our existence gives a hoot about old folks. That's just the way it is. It is apparent that you are doing your best and that is all that matters. I wish you well. As a matter of fact, he is a lucky guy. Many spouses do not have anyone who really cares.
Mom has had deep sleep spells before which scared me. So, maybe this was just a severe deep sleep. I did call her Dr. which he has never returned my call yet. Her PCP is least desireable. Mom is so contracted I am no longer able to get her to sit in a WC to get her to dr. Hospice nurse was going to see if hospice dr will come out for visit.
I know mom will not live forever, but things like this really give me a reality check. And its scary.
My Mom sometimes nods off for 10 minutes in a chair and there is nothing that can wake her. Its an unusualt deep sleep! The first time it happened I thought the worst and then she popped out of it. IT happened to my caretaker and she called me frantic, but Mom popped out of it again with a smile. She also has nightly epiosodes of complete joy when we sing christmas songs and starts to make her legs and hands go to the best, its a quite unusual disease. I think its normal for them and their emotions are all over the place, but we never know but at least a call to the Dr is in the works for you for sure. Poor thing, good luck :)
