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").

yiu know:: location location location. Get her closer to you so you can have more hands on and eyes on her…
I have mentioned many times that finding the appropriate drug and dosage can take time so I am not one to say that medicating someone should not be done.
If I gave that impression in my response that was not my intention
I’ve heard the same thing about barking dogs. After driving the neighbors mad for hours, they stop when they hear the owner’s car turn into the driveway, so the owner thinks the complaints are totally exaggerated.
Sometimes quietly, sometimes loud and sometimes VERY loud.
Sometimes it bothered me a little, sometimes it bothered me a LOT.
Some people yell, some moan, some say "help me", some "I want to go home", some are quiet, some cry.
Sure it can be stopped but at what cost. Sedating people so that they are "quiet" is not right.
Some can be redirected.
Have you thought to say HI to this woman?
It is possible that this is her way of communicating with you and your mom.
Possibly put on some quiet music for you mom that would be a filter for the yelling. Or the TV. (although with some of the TV during the day I might prefer yelling..or I would join in)
I would STILL speak with the admin on Monday about how dreadfully disturbing this is for you loved one AND for you. That you UNDERSTAND, BUT...................
That may help.
Eventually, don't you know, as much a disturbance as this is it cannot go on. Family and doctors will be contacts and the attempt at some drug cocktail that can keep this poor one from being so frightened and disturbed without turning her to stone will be tried. As well as you are upset you can imagine how distraught all patients, visiting families and staff are. These things happen. They are dreadfully heartbreakingly disturbing. And they pass.
Again, do call the admin. That will help push this forward.
