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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

Any therapeutic lie will do, keeping it light and not something that may worry him or cause anxiety or distress. Hallucinations from Lewy's or Parkinson's in my opinion, are greatly exacerbated by stress.
I don't know what you mean by your being unable to visit for "quite some time", but you already are not seeing him sometimes for two months. So telling him this is going to put it off for four months at least.
If his memory is poor you can even say that you WERE there.
I would discuss with admins where he is, making certain they don't pass on your difficulties. They can back "your story" and be reassuring.
You can also be honest and "keep it light" as you have with us. Just say you will be fine but it will take some time. His sense of time and space may already be so out of kilter that none of this will matter a whole lot.
Wishing you the best and speedy healing.
Tell aides and hospice staff.
Hard to say if hallucinations would get worse if you told me but generally stress increases progression of Parkinson.
My husband with Parkinson’s has some hallucinations, seeing people by his bed, one time white cat.
Neurologist advised melatonin for sleep as he screams, talks loudly, which is not him at all, he is rather quiet person.
Wishing you speedy recovery!
I would share with Hospice and maybe the facility that due to your health you will be unable to visit as often. You do not have to share details.
You could request from Hospice that a Volunteer stop in and visit a few times. This would be in addition to the person you have hired. (Volunteers are available through Hospice it is a Medicare REQUIREMENT that Volunteers are used for any number of things. The Volunteer hours must equal at least 5% of the Hospice providers total patient care hours.)
I do hope all is well and you are able to resume your normal activities soon.
