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.

Lisa, you really should see a professional about your autistic ruminations. They could help provide more tools.
"When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail."
Brilliant!
Unfortunately, this is a forum with people who always wants to help and you have figured that out, why not give us a break?
Get the mental help that you need, for you, so that you can begin living a life with a normal mindset, you will find that to be a blessing.
We cannot help you, we've tried, however, your issues are way beyond our set skills.
Believe me, we all want you to get better, however, you are the only person who can do this.
Do you ever give the knit-picking and nonsense a rest? Try to find something worthwhile to do with your time because clearly you have way too much of it. The CNA's at the AL couldn't care less when you visit your father or how it goes. They were trying to be friendly when they complimented the flowers. If I was an aide in that facility, I'd go on a break when you show up.
There is no pretext to see how you interact with your father. The aides are not spying on you and reporting back to your brother about how your visit is going. Care facility aides have a very hard job to get done. No one cares about how your visit with your father goes.
Please do yourself a favor and get some mental health help. You really need some.
I can’t imagine workers worrying about visiting family members.
Especially, since the staff is busy with important work to do throughout their day.
Sigh, yes you are.
Maybe this aide really cares about your dad and wanted to make sure you weren't harassing the poor old man 😁
The aides in moms AL and in her MC loved her. They'd visit all the time, even after their shift was over, just to chat. There is nothing weird or suspicious about an aide wanting to see a huge bouquet of flowers imo. It's not often a resident receives such an extravagant gift.
They're not robots, but human beings who often grow fond of the residents they care for.
If you aren't bothered by it, why post asking about a "pretext"?
I am sad that such a thought could enter your head.
What happened to your solemn promise to us not to write to us about Dad's problems anymore?
Is that over?
What are your plans for the Holiday?
I'm not used to that kind of environment. I thought I was a caring person. Many of the aides are on a whole other level of caring. Like angles from heaven. But to come in the room right after I got there, my precious family time, and the aide just wants to see an impressive bouquet of flowers? To me that's not normal. It could be that that's the way the aide is. When it happened I nor my father were bothered by it at all.
