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.

What do mean by its not productive in this situation. You need to realize that Mom is in her own little world and you have to join her there. Paranoia comes with Dementia. They can no longer reason. They can no longer process what you are saying and their short-term memory loss doesn't allow them to remember from day to day or minute to minute. In her mind they are lying and nothing you say will change that. She no longer sees the world as it is. Yes its frustrating but its what it is.
We have 2 things we use here to discribe Dementia. A broken brain or a dying brain. I use dying. Little by little as Dementia hits parts of the brain, they die. If Mom was not nasty before then maybe her Dementia has hit the part of her brain that has emotions. Maybe she needs a medication to calm her. I would discuss this with her Neurologist.
I went to visit my Mom at her AL. It was not unusual to find her walking the halls. On this visit thats where I found her, looking for a baby she heard crying. I told her there were no babies only adults. She said I was wrong there was a baby. One of the aides was in the hall and heard our conversation. Mom looked at her and said "If u tell me that there are no babies, I will believe you but not her" The aide told Mom their were no babies. Mom said "OK" and walked away.
How about trying one of these.
"Mom, I will talk to them again"
"Mom, I have a meeting scheduled with the administrator, we will discuss this"
It might be easier to give scenarios if you gave us an example of what "lies" she it believing they are telling.
Is it about medication? Her ?
