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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

Your husband fixating on you could be Shadowing, which often comes with dementia, or it could be a type of OCD/paranoia. You should talk to a neurologist about reviewing his meds, as he may now need them for those symptoms.
In the past I hired an awesome companion aid for my 2 elderly Aunts through an agency. They had her for 6 years until she retired. I had to cycle through a few bad fits first, but this lady was totally worth it.
Since your husband is pretty young, he must have some guys that know him. You could opt to pay 2 or 3 of them to be his companions on a regular basis and do a little training of them yourself (or point them to a book or videos on YouTube). The right person is worth training.
Large churches sometimes run Adult Day Care on their premises but don't spend much on advertising to keep the costs down. Call up a few big local churches and ask, they might know if other churches in the area have programs even if they don't.
I wish you all the best in getting the right solution for both of you!

Keep in mind that with advanced dementia at play, there may be few activities your husband is able to or interested in participating in. The second link discusses that fact in further detail.

Good luck.
They do a wonderful job with folks with dementia. You can bring them up to 5 days a week and up to 8 hours a day. And they serve breakfast, lunch and a snack, and offer lots of different activities to keep folks busy.
I would double check with your Senior Services, and Area Agency on Aging as well, as they can let you know what's available in your area.
Other than that perhaps you can see if you can have a volunteer come sit with him awhile and keep him occupied.
Check with your church and the Shepherd Center as they have folks that come out for free.
Have you investigated any day care programs? Call your local council on aging.
I am so very sorry. I wish I had a clue what to suggest and I hope many others do. I wish you the best and hope you'll update us.
