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.

The saddest thing is that she thinks she is fine.Perhaps it's a blessing she does not feel crazy.
That pretty much stopped last year. Which was good & bad, obviously... given that the neuro-test he had done in 2012 during diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's indicated he had been in top 10% of IQ, but was already approaching 10% of processing ability. Pulling up info he could do, usually to just talk about something he saw on TV .... just not implement or otherwise use Executive Processing skills.
It is hard to keep a straight face when she talks about her cleaning activities. Her son finds these stories hard to believe because he knows that she never did any house related work ever. However she loves the compliments about how hard she works when she cleans.
I call this behavior "rising to the occasion." it can be irksome or one can acknowledge that it is part of the disease progression.
In the end, of course, she took some digs at me on the way out. I don't know how to come to terms with a lot of it, and I suppose humor is good. Thank you for your stories.
My mom senses when a dr or authority comes "a calling" and then snaps too with answering questions or doing an activity -- then as soon as its over, she denies any advice they dispense --- even written instructions. she read it then says -- "he didn't say that". Its very frustrating.
I've noticed as he gets into late stages he's doing less showtime. Maybe he's accepted his condition? Maybe no one's fooled? Maybe it's too hard on him to do that any more? Whatever the reason, I take it as another indication of his sad decline.
