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.

We would have to move her to MC and he would stay in AL for the tune of 11K a month. Never happened as he died, we kept her in AL as long as we could then moved her to MC.
I do visit her and take her to lunch every two weeks or so, well, I must admit I have a very difficult time, the same questions over and over again sometimes 10 times in 1/2 hour, inability to follow even the simplest direction, then the emotional upsets. Round n round we go.
I cannot imagine living in the same little apartment with her, I would have a total mental breakdown myself.
This disease has no cure, it never gets better, it is very stressful trying to deal with someone who has this disease, let alone being cramped in a little space with no kitchen or anywhere to hide.
If both seniors were agreeable, they could live together in Assisted Living, but only if the spouse with dementia was in the early stages where they could function without the other spouse doing all the caregiving 24/7. My parents lived together in AL while mom had dementia and dad didn't, but she wasn't too far gone at the time........but she STILL drove dad crazy! As time went on and she developed moderate dementia, she moved into Memory Care AL but that was after dad had passed away. There would have been NO WAY he could have lived with her during that phase of her dementia; she was way too much to handle.
Are you sure this is what you want? It is possible to stay very closely involved in your spouse's care and quality of life without living on the premises, you know.
Anyway, I don't want to put you off finding out about them, only do take advice and do look at all the options before you decide.
The seniors are assured to this day they can go to the AL portion when needed, but it is almost full. They do not have an mc or a snf. The present model is based toward high end independent living with benefits that most benefit those at the higher end of the scale.
The AL my Mom was in had couples too. The wife was not too goid but the husband was. My SILs parents did it. She could leave and do her own thing knowing that he would be cared for while she was gone.
