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.

I will do a google search and see if I can come up with a term. I am putting off housework so this gives me a very good reason not to do it now!!
Funny vent! Well, maybe not for you. Hopefully the next time the gentlemen comes back he will be better behaved. Can you bring a dear dear friend who owes you a favor who would be willing to sit by him and ask for his adivce individually. I have found those types of people LOVE that. It sounds like this man is not in the group to receive adivce but rather to give his opinion so....Sorta kidding sorta not.
Off to google
Other than that I found a Facebook page called " Don't You Hate it When You cannot Find Things That are Right in Front of You" but it was just for fun and had silly pictures tht really did not have much to do with that topic. Strange. I am not on Facebook so I do not understand it very well.
Gotta run. Will look more later if you do not get an answer.
Hope I didn't sound flippant earlier. I am sure this is very frustrating for your husband. Hope someone can help you!
FYI.... I seem to have this problem, too. I will be looking for something (keys, checkbook, etc...) and become frantic because I can't find it. When I reach panic mode, I find it - right there in plain sight. I have come to realize that I either am not really SEEING what I'm looking for... or my mind says "keys" but my eyes is looking for Something Else. Total misconnection between my brain neurons which controls thoughts (keys) and visual (sees the objects my eyes send to the brain.) ... sorry, never heard the term.
Agnosia is the inability to recognize certain objects, persons or sounds, yet there are many more specific diagnoses of agnosia. Agnosia is typically caused by damage to the brain (most commonly in the occipital or parietal lobes) or from a neurological disorder. Treatments vary depending on the location and cause of the damage. Recovery is possible depending on the severity of the disorder and the severity of the damage to the brain.[1] Some examples of specific types of Agnosia include: Associative visual agnosia, Astereognosis, Auditory agnosia, Auditory verbal agnosia, Prosopagnosia, Simultanagnosia, Topographical disorientation, Visual agnosia etc.
I think the woman's point was that this glitch (whatever it's called) may or may not b a symptom of some possible big problem (such as dememtia).
I emailed him some quotes about Visual Agnosia and here is his reply about Simultanagnosia:
"And I guess simultanagnosia more or less fits with my problem of not seeing something while looking straight at it. Again, intermittent, annoying but ... well, annoying extremely but generally very short term (a few minutes at most, then I can process what I'm seeing)."
He says that is why he likes those "Crime Scene" games on the internet, because it is practice picking things out.
I'll look at more sites from y'all's links. THANK YOU!
As for TIA, he was checked for that around Easter, after an unexplained fainting spell, and no sign found. The VA is very generous with scans and tests. But that is about the time the visual agnosia started....
