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.

Increased sleeping
Decreased need for food or water.
both by the way are indicators for Hospice when they are recertifying someone on Hospice.
The big concern with increased sleeping is that she should be repositioned at least every 2 hours. And every 2 hours she should be checked to see if her briefs need to be changed.
If your grandma is not on Hospice you might want to contact a Hospice in your area (who ever is POA should do this)
Hospice will provide a bed that will help to minimize pressure sores. They will also provide any other equipment that you would need to care for her safely. They will also provide all the supplies you need. And a Nurse would come 1 time a week to check on her and order any medications she needs. They will be delivered to the house. A CNA will come at least 2 times a week to help bathe her, change bedding and order supplies. And you can request a Volunteer that can sit with her if you have to go out. A Social Worker and a Chaplain would be available as well.
My SIL keeps saying she's nearing the end, but then she will have a good day so who knows? And she's doing purty good compared to my dad in a nursing home with 10 thousand issues. It's just a day at a time at this stage of the game.
anytime i've seen this (sudden weakness, not wanting to get out of bed, just wanting to sleep, no fever), it was because of a severe UTI. drinking water is very important (both to prevent UTIs and to treat them). however, when the UTI is very severe, antibiotics are needed.
if you can, get a doctor (home visit). please try to avoid hospitals (she's soon 96). she might want to stay home, no matter what. let her celebrate at home. bday soon!! :) :)
96 and hospitalized can be very dangerous (easily catch more infections/problems in a hospital).
