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.

We now give her 1/2 anxiety pill and it really helps. She actually seems to enjoy the whole outing then. You might ask her doctor about it. Since you are on a bus I think I would try it at home first. Take a walk with her and see how she does.
Heres another tip.
You take the other half of the pill.
It’s human to get irritated. Parents get annoyed with their children when they do that, but it’s much more difficult when it’s your parent who is an adult. It gets frustrating, but it’s also awkward, which makes it worse.
By the way, I stopped taking her shopping early on.
You have nothing on your profile concerning Moms health? Please fill it in and something about you. Makes it easier when u have multiple post to have profile info to refer to.
How old is Mom. Does she have Dementia? If she does, this will cause the constant talking like a 2 yr old. And since reasoning is the first ability they lose, you probably won't get her to stop. Like a toddler, I didn't pay attention. I think they just talk and say whatever comes into their mind. Just a yes, hmmm, every so often may help.
Secondly...all I can do is virtually wrap my arms around you!! Over the past few years my mom’s (81) paranoia has gone thru the roof. She recently fell and fractured a lower lumbar vertebrae and I have been constant caregiver. I sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind and find myself yelling at her like a child. I am grateful to have a separate area of the house to escape to for a few hours.
Medications can often have an adverse effect, but my mom finds some relief with a low dose of Xanax sometimes.
