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"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. 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. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. 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.

Currently, she lives in her own place with her sister. My aunt has to lock up the fridge and the pantry with the child locks so my mom can't open them. My aunt cooks nutritious foods and gives my mom enough each meal. In between, she leaves out on the table small portions of light snacks and fruits.
There were a few times when my aunt forgot to lock the fridge, my mom drank up the whole carton of OJ and other sweet juice in one day. If she had access, she could finish one whole jar of peanuts. So, no more free access for her.
my dad is in a memory care facility now. I don’t mean to depress you but this is just going to get worse. I saw in your profile that you had taken him out of assisted living due to money issues. If you haven’t already done so you may want to apply for Medicaid. He’s going to need to be watched 24/7 pretty soon and that will take more than one person.
It took me some time to come to grips with the changes in my Mother - and my Dad. Role change is something I had never heard of, but I can tell you all about it now. YouTube has a very informative series of videos called "Careblazers" and I highly recommend you watch them. I've learned so much from this woman.
Yes, this disease is horrible and we need all the support we can get - just to keep our sanity. God bless you. Sending lots of Hugs. 💙
There are also little containers of fully cooked meals; Dinty Moore if I recall correctly has some like that.
He doesn't understand; his dementia prevents that, so you have to be creative to be one step ahead of him. Still, I can understand the frustration, although I haven't had to go through that.
