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.

And sometimes he would get irritated when I couldn't figure it out and sometimes he didn't, and we would just laugh about it.
Although I must say that over time I did get pretty good at being a mind reader for him and was usually able to figure out what he was trying to tell me.
So I say yes, try and help him find the word. It will make both your lives a little easier and hopefully keep you both from getting frustrated too often.
God bless you as you walk this journey with your husband.
You've been with hubby for a while, and have entered this particular "journey" with him, and so you are the EXPERT now on him.
You know when his word-search is something that he is just mulling and thinking about.
You know when he is expressing frustration.
When the latter is present and he is looking at a Nasturtium, say and he says "Look at the color on that.....................ummmmmmmmmm...........hydrangea............no, no, no.....that's a ..............WHAT is that???!!!!" You can gently say "nasturtium?"
Just answer slowly, with gentleness, and a calming tone.
Or say "I am not sure what you mean?". But just keep a calming tone if able.
If the language and the aphasia is more and more a problem, ask doc for an evaluation you will attend also with OT speech therapist. There may be videos about dealing with expressive aphasia and word-searching online. Teepa Snow is great to watch for communication hints. There should be things online if you search-bar "word searching/neuro.
When this occurs for our loved ones it is very frustrating. We can't believe we can't come up with the word. It causes anxiety. So do whatever keeps things calmest and if you know what he means, don't correct.
Good luck. We do the best we can.
then leave it
try a little and see if he appreciates it
if not then stop
know”. There are times I just have to tell her I don’t know what she is referring to. It can get very frustrating. I try to let her fnd the word, but I find others looking to me to understand her and that makes her upset. We just do the best we can.
