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.

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.

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 partner must require skilled intervention, which means a family member assist, significant other assist, or patient himself cannot complete the therapy without a licensed professional. Then, the goals have to be functional, attainable, and measurable. If skilled intervention cannot help the person meet functional goals (i.e the person cannot show improvement even with skilled care), then the home program passes to the patient and/or family to carry out to the degree they can.
Ask the therapist these questions. I am sure they will be glad to help.

Yesterday I watched on PBS a program titled "Capturing Grace", featuring the Morris Dance Group and its adaptations of dance for those with Parkinson's.
The program featured various rehearsals, steps for the various dances, interaction with patients, and the final performance. It was very, very emotional but also one which creates such an abundance of enthusiasm for the dedicated dancers who worked with those who have PD.
One particularly fascinating aspect showed a woman who suffered from tremors in multiple joints; it was impossible for her to remain still. But you should have seen her when she danced - she was a natural! She was so fluid she reminded me of one of the outstanding dancers in CATS.
Some of the people, who apparently had never danced before, were mesmerized by the music and transformed into creating their own movements spontaneously. It was literally that - a transformation. In some, their grace and movements naturally followed those of ballet. Their hands became those of a ballerina, their faces assumed not only a concentration but a look of being captured by music and the grace of dancing. It was mesmerizing.
There now are 100 communities in 11 countries hosting these dance classes.
Hopefully this link won't be deleted, but if it is, google 'Morris Dance Group, Parkinson's Disease": http://danceforparkinsons.org/
A map of where classes can be found is here: c, which lists the countries hosting the program.

I haven't been this enthusiastic about specifically oriented program for a long time! If something like this were at Senior Centers, I think it would be wonderful.
Keep it up as long as you can!
Caregiver training in middle to late stages is also important part of PT and OT.
Good luck!
