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.

I guess that works for some people. I would be very afraid the elder's worst nightmare of being abandoned is what is going through their mind.
Every person is different. Every familiy is different. But for me, I wanted to be there daily so that they knew I was their advocate and they weren't being abandoned.
Good luck. It's tough.

It's been just over one week now and I call about every other day to see how he's doing. He is adjusting fine but I'm with everyone else as to which is best....stay away or visit often.
As far as needing to be there so many hours, I've never hard of such a thing! You would need to find a memory care facility where they know better how to deal with her alzheimers.
On thing I've found in all the admits I've done for my husband is there is a huge difference between facilities!!
Go ahead and go out of town for a week, call the staff and see how she's doing. You might be surprised...
I'm going through it right now too since I put my hubby in just over s week ago and I'm fighting the urge to visit him before the two weeks are up.
But when I call, they do,say he's adjusting well, making friends and socializing with people. That's a huge advancement for him since his Alzheimer's had him so attached to me. He escaped from three facilities trying to get to me! This home is working with him and asked me to stay away the two weeks. I'm only hoping at this point that it's the right thing to do....ill let you know how it goes when I do go see him.
Good luck to you!
