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.

Just understood all of it - so sorry. Get them to keep her. You are obviously not able at the moment. It would be SAFER for her to be admitted.
Good Luck - hope you feel better soon
It feels uncomfortable to avoid talking to the hospital to try to get my mom settled, and I'm sure it's uncomfortable for my mom also... But I made it clear to EMT and nurse at ER that I would not accept her home; in both cases their response was, "You have to." Well I guess we're at a stand off... This is a very small town; they're not going to leave a 96 year old who can't walk out on the curb. I'm going to sleep now and sleep as long as I possibly can here in the peace and quiet.
Thank you again for all your support and caring! 🕊💕☃️☃️
The problem is, my mom's UTI is not showing up on their tests and they don't realize/ believe she's not always manic and demented like this so they keep insisting she's well. Hopefully overnight, she's started to hear the annoying music and see the invisible people, as always. And hopefully the hospital will notice! We will see...
Going to sleep and rest as much as I can, as I'm very unwell. Might call Area Council on Aging to see if they can help, and might call some of the respite care places the Alz Assoc found me to see if I can get her in there for a week or two -- I'm praying I don't have to take her home today while she's still manic. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! I could not have stood up to the hospital's pressure and bullying without support.
I talked to Area Council on Aging, still trying to find out my rights. They were encouraging and are calling Adult Protective Services for me to see what are my real options and rights. YAAY!
Hospital did not admit mom and she spent the night in the ER.
I left a message with nurse at her PCP to see if I can get antibiotics that way. May not be able to, as he is a new doc for her. Will see.
I don't want to take her home as she is still sick and manic -- I can tell from her phone messages. But hospital thinks she is just very old.... And -- it's easy for me to forget-- I AM STILL SICK.
Left messages with respite care facilities but they didn't call back yet.
Thank you again for your caring and support! The system might be insane at times but at least we have each other! 🕊💕
Out of line.
