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.

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

You may be expecting too much of her. Her mind doesn't work that way anymore. If something needs to be done, then someone is going to have to do it for her.
Goodness, think of all the things we should read but don't. Off the top of my head: fire escape protocols. The Health & Safety posters that by law must be put up in every place of work. "Do Not Exceed The Stated Dose." Instructions to voters. Contracts. Cookie policies.
I am already losing count of the number of clients who've said "oh, I didn't know how to get in touch with you" (you meaning the service I work for). It takes all my will-power not to pick up the folder we leave in every home and point wordlessly to the front cover, on which is shown clear and full the name of our service, its telephone number in 48 font bold print, and our hours of operation (7:00 am to 10:00 pm).
If the notices and reminders you're leaving for your mother are about anything important? - then you will have to be more direct with your prompts. You can: call her on the phone at the time when she has to do something; ask a member of the AL's staff to prompt her to do whatever it is; go in to collect her or visit her in good time to help her prepare.
Advance notice tends not to be helpful to people with dementia anyway - the effort to remember, if made at all, is stressful for them and they do better with "now" prompts. For example: "it's time to get ready to go out." "We are going in the car to see the doctor." "Here we are, it's this building. Let's go inside."
I'm still in favour of big, bright, cheerful wall calendars that display anything of potential interest to the person, including appointments, reminders, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. But they're more decorative than useful, and I wouldn't rely on them in operation. Certainly, NEVER be annoyed that your mother isn't ready to go out even though you wrote *** Cardiology 11:00 am TUES!!!*** in block capitals on a post-it note.
In the beginning, I posted notes, reminders, schedules, etc. for my LO, but, they were worthless to her. She either didn't think to read them or she would read it and not be able to process what it said. When she was in regular AL, I wrote a sign in huge red letters that said PRESS BUTTON FOR HELP, but, she would just sit on the toilet and never press it for help. It never occurred to her. She could read it aloud, but, not follow the instructions. I have read of people with dementia who fall down and have an Emergency button within reach, but, never press it. There is some kind of disconnect that prevents the normal process from happening. My LO would stare at a tv, but, never think of turning it on. See a magazine, but, not think to pick it up. I don't know of any way to change that. I think that at a certain point the words have little meaning to them.

In assisted living, you can get help from workers; however, more often you either wind up doing things like laundry for them, or telling them to do whatever at that moment by phone or in person. If you don't do it at the same time, as soon as you leave or hang up, she'll most likely forget. They can't and don't function on their own as they once did, including schedules like laundry, eating, activities.
Again, I agree with Geaton777, sad but true, but there's probably more falling through the cracks in her living, and she likely needs to be moved to the next level of care.
Other than alerting your mom's tenders on her AL floor of your discovery, she may need the next level up of attention from them (more money) or a move to Memory Care. I'm sure this is not what you want to hear. Maybe others on the forum have different suggestions, but if she's not "seeing" the notices and has short-term memory challenges, other problems may exist: my MIL was not remembering to eat. If asked, she'd tell you what she sincerely thought she ate, but hadn't. We had no choice but to transition her into a NH. You are far enough away that there are probably more things in her days that are falling through the cracks. I hope you get some helpful answers!
