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.

I would abide by whatever. he filled out when he was of sound mind.
Do know that with a YES to CPR, it will be done when he is found without pulse or breath, and no one will make a call BEFORE it is done to you. As to a ventilator you would probably be asked, but not before he is intubated by emergency personnel. I would redo theses form with husand and personnel when Covid-19 is over and you can be there to participate with him. Explain exactly what each thing means. There are different ways to say this. For instance, "WHEN YOU DIE, do you want us to attempt to bring you back again by pushing on your chest and heart?" and "When you can't breath do you want us to put tubes down your throat and push air into your lungs". Most people, even with dementia will tell you no, because it makes it sound EXACTLY as invasive as it really is.
Ultimately, they are correct. Your husband can say what he wants now. You can say what is to be done, as you understood his wishes, when he cannot make his wishes known.
Why they would make out the MOST Form with a demented person without your participation as his advocate is an entirely other subject for another day.
If your husband is remaining at home with you, and you are comfortable in knowing his wishes over a lifetime (I am about my own partner), then for you a MOST will not come into play until and unless the Emergency personnel are called. They will not intubate and do CPR on a person who is clearly incapable of coming back. That is to say, someone who is cold and has the onset of rigor. So for you, the avoiding of an assault on your husband's body will be ascertaining by the timeliness of your call to Emergency Services. You have the POA Advanced directives with you, that were done when he was capable of making his wishes known. This means you are not under any obligation to call EMT at all. You can instead inform his physician of his death. However, if your husband is in placement in care, then this does become a problem.
