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.

Why are you the caregiver in charge? Your mother has to either get a full time caregiver through health insurance or pay a Home Health Aide. You can also take her to ER & say she’s a danger to herself & other family members. Repeat what she said about burning house down. Talk to Social Worker at hospital about placing her in facility. Grandma needs neurologist to give MRI of brain. It will show if there’s dementia & Alzheimer’s. They can do this in ER too. Or make appointment to go to neurologist with her. There’s medication to control/calm her...Your mother must go with her.
How old are you? Do you work, go to school? Have friends? Being caregiver to grandma shouldn’t be your job. Good luck & hugs 🤗.

My mother has Alzheimer's and before the pandemic, I was taking her out everyday to walk around the markets, Costco, Walmart, the mall, etc. When the pandemic first started, I continued to take her out daily, but only for car rides. Now, she wears a mask and goes everywhere like she used to. If I kept her at home, she'd go crazy, crazier than her normal Alz. state.
If your grandmother can't go out, then she's right to feel trapped like a prisoner.
When you go out, wear a mask and keep a distance from people, don't touch your face. It's safe to go out. Beats staying home and destroying your mental and physical health.
thanks for your comment, my mother and grandmother have such a bad relationship and I’m in the middle, I don’t know where to stand. I’ll try talking to my mom and reasoning about taking strolls with masks and at a distance in a safe zone (sadly we are from Mexico were the pandemic has been very out of control, add the fact that she loves cleaning and is very averse to bacteria, viruses and stuff like that. She came to my space and threw away a carpet because “it was so filthy!”. It was just a carpet really).
if she cannot reason I don’t know what to do, I’m not sure I can force her to take therapy though she clearly needs it. 😣
corona and a controlling figure, pufff I do not recommend.
