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.

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").

For you, I hope it's something as easy as this. But don't ignore that undiagnosed infection, in the case of my dad we almost lost him because he waited to long.
Also - I assume he had his chest listened to, yes? But in general, if you've got any questions or worries about how a medication should be working, it really is best to call the GP's office and speak to whoever prescribed the medication.
Wishing your Dad better very soon.
As well as an 86 y.o. overdoing it and not having the cognitive ability to stop work so as not to overdo. imo.
I hope your Dad feels better soon. I found this information online. My other main concern is medications. Could your Dad have taken too much of something? Here is the link I found:
Some of the most common causes of sudden confusion include:
•an infection – urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common cause in elderly people or people with dementia.
•a stroke or TIA ("mini-stroke")
•a low blood sugar level in people with diabetes – read about treating low blood sugar.
•a head injury.

No I really don't think my Dad has had a fall. I'm pretty certain if this were the case then he would have mentioned something to my Mum. My Dad is so honest.
By chance, did Dad fall and didn't tell you? Falls where one hits their head can cause brain bleeds which can result in confusion. That happened with my Mom. Eventually it cleared up, until another head hitting fall happened.
Many elders don't want to us that they had fallen as they don't want to appear "old". I know much later my Dad finally told me that my Mom had fallen quite a bit. Oh great, now they tell me.... [sigh].
Dehydration can also cause this confusion.
