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.

Remember that you matter too. Take care of yourself, even if he grumps about it.
He's 97. Repeat: HE's 97!!! NO procedure is going to get him back to driving and living independently! I can see doing out patient, simple procedures that help with pain, but not all the stuff he'd having done.
You stay, and put up with him. What's the upside for you? I really feel bad for anyone who has to live with a cranky, abusive Sr.
I myself have pretty bad stenosis in my spine. Ain't nuthin' gonna FIX that either because the surgeries can easily cause more damage to the spine than they cure. The spinal cord is a very delicate area to operate in; one tiny thing goes wrong and the patient is paralyzed for life. So my doctors are always very leery about trying to surgically fix me. I seriously doubt your dad will be a new man after this MILD procedure he's having, so who knows. Let's hope he makes it out of there alive and/or not paralyzed.
I'm not sure myself why you are living in the same home with such a nasty man who gives you no freedom in your OWN home, as stated in your profile. I think you have to question why you're doing this, and perhaps consider getting dad placed in managed care at some point. Your life matters too, my friend. You deserve to be happy and not treated poorly by someone who's supposed to be grateful to have you, for petesake.
I hope everything works out well, and that you can get dad out of your house SOONER rather than later. That is my hope for you, and that you can move on with your own life now. Best of luck.
Now onto you. Time for a frank discussion with dad about your burn out. If dad wants every procedure under the sun he will have to go to rehab afterwards. Once he is out of your house you can get the ball rolling to have him moved to a facility.
And no I don't believe at 97 that he is going to get back to the level of activity he had before. Esspecially at his age.
Something just doesn't sound right.
Are you dependent upon him for financial support?
