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.

Talk to the head RN. Tell her that you would like these calls to stop. That the only time you should get a call is for an emergency. That the reason he was placed in their facility was you could no longer care for him alone. These constant calls are causing you anxiety and. It also doesn't help him to adjust. He needs to realize this is his home now and that the staff is now responsible for his care. Really, the staff needs to learn how to deal with his problems. As long as ur willing to be a phone call away, you make their job easier because they don't have to deal with him. The one giving him his meds is either an LPN or Medtech. Both should be able to talk a resident into taking a pill. They can put into pudding, into yogurt.
Maybe you can set up a time when your husband can call you on the days that you don't visit. Maybe after the evening meal just before they get him down for the night.
Do you remember MomCat? I had one stamp of her with her big floppy shoes, and added a comment to the effect that she felt she needed to get more comfortable shoes made especially for cats - something like that.

I also had some leaping dolphin stamps and added comments to the effect that they were having so much fun leaping out of the water and greeting folks in boats who passed by. Smiling dolphins always make me smile as well.
You could ask the staff to leave the cards close to your husband's bed, or chair, so that he can easily access them.
Did you also leave any photos of you, and/or the two of you together?
What about a voice recorder like this one?

It records up to 1 minute. You could record a message assuring him that you’re alright, but out shopping and will be back soon. You will call as soon as you get back. Assure him that you love him, and all is well. The aids can redirect him to listen to it whenever he needs to hear your voice, and fingers crossed, it will tide him over until you call or visit.
