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

The UTI investigation is a good idea too. Infections can cause odd behaviour in the elderly, and women are more prone to UTI's.
If all else fails, consult a doctor. Medications may be necessary to prevent a harmful accident.
If your mother can't talk or can't talk well now, the only way she can express her objection is by acting out, and she does. It's a shame, and I'm sure the lady means well, but it won't hurt her to steer clear of your parents.
Not uncommon at all for Parkinson's delusions to have a good deal of paranoid mistaken things happening. This particular lady should not visit for a while. This may help a lot. Try 15 days without visit and see how that goes, but do the U/A first of anything else.
I see by your profile that your Mom is living in Assisted Living, see if a nurse can do an UTI test.
If your mother is delusional, she is not seeing this person—she is seeing someone else. Can you ask her why she doesn’t like this person?
There could be any number of underlying reasons for your mother's behaviour towards her, ranging from the woman's having given your mother cause to fear or dislike her (inadvertently or otherwise), to the woman's triggering some unconscious unpleasant memory in your mother, to something about the woman (perfume, texture of clothing, tone of voice) that rubs her up the wrong way, to nothing comprehensible at all. I should think it unlikely that the lady has actually done a thing to deserve this, but it's not impossible - has that crossed your mind?
But let's assume the lady hasn't done anything wrong. In any case, unless she needs to be there for some real purpose, I should think that the best thing to do for now is to explain to her that while you want to stress that she is in no way to blame it would be better if she did not visit for the time being.
