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.

More about the site: If you click on ‘Care Topics’ at the top right of the screen, you get an alphabet. Click on D for Dementia and there is lots of information – professional articles, old threads and discussions. And of course all the other letters provide more information on other related topics.
If you click on the magnifying glass, also on the top right of the screen, you can type in any topic at all. That will access threads that have used that term.
If you want to be more personal and are concerned about ID, you can start a new thread with a new and different screen name, and don’t mention Turkey. There are many many overseas postings, which wouldn’t lead to an ID – perhaps pick one yourself.
Sence the fall was only ten days ago, she may or may slowly regain some of her brain function, or she may not.
I would Google everything you can find on dementia, there is a lot of good information out there.
If only after, was delerium mentioned?

she used to have confusion very rarely when she was very stressed. Like 3 times over 1,5 years. She didnt have anesthesia or surgery. She has broken shoulder bone but doctors just wrapped.
im reading about delirium now. No docs had said anything before about it.
If M had an anesthetic after she broke her shoulder, that might explain her mental state, which is often affected. Ten days is not a long time, she might come right – or even just a bit better, which would help. It might be a good idea to avoid ‘encouraging’ her lack of ideas about what to do, because learned helplessness is possible and can lead to rapid dependence. Perhaps say “what do you think?” first, rather than just answer her questions.
Just to let you know, you may not get many answers for a while because of the time difference between the USA and Turkey. I am in Australia, where it’s 4.30pm on Saturday, but it’s a different thing altogether in west coast USA, probably still Friday. Americans wake up to posts from me, so be patient, people will help.
mom is 77, im 38 female. Im not american, not in military. Mom didnt have surgery nor taken anesthetics. She is only using some painkillers and has shoulder bandage.
and tysm for infos. I will try not encouraging. Before the fall mom had started parkinsons medicine but they havent really diagnosed her. They were trying to see if it would help. Instead it seems to have messed her head a lot. Now she is off them. Although she is better, still confused.
