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.

Regarding the filthy stupid ‘friend’, unless he is/ was an important person in your husband’s life, I’d agree that you don’t need him around. Certainly not to take your husband out and get him completely confused. It makes you wonder if he has dementia himself. I suppose you didn’t find the dirty toilet until after he’d gone, otherwise I sincerely trust you would have made him clean up his mess himself!
Perhaps they will listen if you try again, and say ‘one more time, and I block your number’. It that still doesn’t work, they are likely to get back to you when you do in fact block their number. They might be angry, but also more ready to listen.
It’s worth giving them some notice, to try to sort out the problem without upsetting DH or limiting his contact with his old friends and acquaintances. Chances are that they think they are doing the right thing by talking about ‘the real issues’. This can get worse if they think that you are doing something wrong, and you are cutting off contact as a control technique.
It might help if your son makes the calls, and tells them how difficult it is making things for you. He can ‘blame’ the impact on you, more strongly than you can yourself. It’s a tricky problem to handle!
country and hardly ever calls. Once and a while. A friend took him out a couple of weeks ago and brought him to another house when he got home and my husband didn't know where he was. He was trying to get into this other house with his key. Its a good thing the friend just didn't leave him there. My husband wasn't at all alright for a few days after that. I was so angry at the friend, but he made light of it. Then he used my bathroom and left his fifth all over my toilet seat behind. In all honesty I and my husband don't need people like this in our lives. What do you think.
And if that doesn't work I see nothing wrong with taking your phone off the hook, or better yet just unplug it, that way you won't have to listen to that annoying noise that a landline makes when it's off the hook.
And if you have a cell phone, you can just turn that off as well.
Wishing you the best.
