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").

If this doesn't get anywhere I have some few other ideas, but I wouldn't want to START with them, as they are a bit more radical in nature.
Welcome to Forum Con. We surely do have lots of new members and questions today. I'm so curious about how you all discovered us at one time, but I sure am glad to see you here. Will await your answer and follow this question daily. Take care; thanks for being a supportive family member.
Also, he should ask to be in the room when she's tested and to sit directly behind her so that when she is asked questions, if she gives an wrong answer, you can indicate true or false by moving your head for the doc to see. This is also what I did at my MIL's appointment. The doc and staff will be happy to help in this situation.
Before leaving this appointment, have him ask for the HIPAA Medical Representative form for his wife. Cousin should be written in as the MR and she signs it. This allows cousin to call and get private medical info on his wife without her having to be present.
The wife is in the paranoia stage of her dementia. It can go on for quite a while. He can ignore her threats and hire aids (which she may eventually grow to like) or he can consider MC for her. But only if he has legal power to do so. He doesn't get to legally make deccisions for her just because he's her husband.
Unless there’s signs of cousin mistreating wife, the police aren’t likely to believe he’s doing something wrong. They’re trained to recognize various forms of mental illness. Your cousin can explain.
In no way does cousin have to accept this treatment from his wife. He needs to ignore her ravings and move forward to get her help.
