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.

Does anyone know if there’s a wiki somewhere with great tips for configuring a phone for someone with early dementia?

I know it feels hard and sad but I would come up with something else, like an iPad with no internet but lots of games and maybe movies and documentaries about the things she loves. If she has ALZ then she will be able to watch them over and over (my Aunt did this). This will be a lot less work and stress than having to monitor her online activity and finding lots of porn and other inappropriate stuff in her browsing history. Once she goes to that type of site, then she will be flooded with all sorts of pop-ups and ads of similar content.
I ordered a $12 runner's neoprene phone belt on amazon so she can have it on her and access it easier when she's out in her yard gardening. In the past she has twice fallen and because she was able to get to her phone, it was only a minor incident.
I also gave my Mom my iPad that has games on it. Also no data plan. If you allow someone with ALZ to browse the internet you are asking for trouble. There's a lot of disgusting stuff that one can accidentally click on. Dark, negative, scary things that someone with ALZ does not need to ever be exposed to. Not worth the risk, IMHO.
Her progression is currently slow and has been fairly stable for the past two years so we’re not quite ready to remove her internet access as she loves to look up info about musicians, actors, birds, and flowers. We try to allow for as much freedom and independence as we can while keeping her safe. We take things day by day and take care of issue as they arise.
We would like to keep texting as we all texts back and forth daily. Having the text records has been great because she can refer back to know if she already asked for something or we answered a question, etc.
