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.

My mom passed June 4th of mixed dementia. Vascular added. In the very old, mixed is common.
Brest of luck as you navigate this difficult road, my friend
Although the illness does not necessarily get better, there are tactics used to help you go through the daily activities of living as pertaining to him. Encourage him to keep a journal. He can log what he is thinking of or saying at that time. You can even offer to scribe for him. Just giving them the sense of inclusiveness goes a long way. Involve him in activities that he used to love and relate to in a positive way.
Keep familiar and most loved pictures, clothes, objects, trophies, and items around that strike joy! I know it's not easy. There are support classes offered within Sheltering Arms, Area Council on Aging, Care Connections, Alzheimer's Association, Catholic Charities, United Way, and local places of worship.
Sometimes she will say she does not feel like herself and does not know what's wrong with her...we assume she is having mini strokes and feels foggy. She has no motivation and cannot make decisions. At the restaurant she always wants to order what I do...making a choice is overwhelming to her.
Keep reading up on VD and be prepared for almost anything, including him bringing up issues from the past and dealing with them like they just happened. My poor dad has been the brunt of my mom's wrath for his behavior 60 years ago. It is a very unpredictable and ever changing disease.
Good luck to you. Hugs.
It is a bit confusing to the caregiver but I guess you kind of need to just let it flow and deal with what happens as it comes along. Since you have no control over it anyhow.
Good luck!
