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.

Here on this board, I will never fail to mention it on any dementia post to which I respond. It is most definitely one of those "can't hurt, might help" ideas. I'm THRILLED for you!!
My Mom took it for a while. She does not have dimentia but has some memory loss. I need to start having her take it again. My sister inlww's 98 yr old Mom takes it for mouth sores and has noticed a big difference in her memory too.
Since coconut oil is all natural pharmacuetical companies cannot patten it. The doctors knly recommend the drugs as they are taught to do in med school. Only holistic doctors will recommend natural cures.
Olive oil is another good thing to use on the skin. It is a natural exfoliant has vit A and E in it and helps keep moisture in. Great for acne, aging and other skin problems.
You can use coconut oil as dressing for salad, spread for your bread, or add it to your drinks. We used to also add it to her rice. But now she refuses to eat rice, so we just add it to her vegetables.
The solid at cool temps can be used in the same way as any other cooking oil. There is also coconut flour, coconut sugar and coconut milk, and coconut water. My daughter uses all of these products but takes the coconut oil as a liquid. It turns into a liquid in your mouth. I know I sound like a commercial and I did feel silly posting this but if yall could see the difference in my husband you just wouldn;t believe it. And the best thing of all is that he says he can tell that he is thinking and speaking better and that makes him happy.
For other healthy reasons I cook with coconut oil and do not use vegetable oil at all any more. You can add coconut oil in tea or cofee but it makes your veggies taste great.
Thank you sondraO for reminding me about this great discovery.
I started her on 1/2 tbs of virgin coconut oil twice a day, and worked up to 2 tbs twice a day in about 10 days. She showed improvement almost immediately in all categories, and now after 3 months of full dosage, the change has been astounding..
She stays up during the day, reads a lot again, watches TV and laughs at appropriate points, walks without help, is vastly more alert, talks, (but still tangles words up), is much more aware of bathroom problems, but still needs a little help.
Memory and reasoning has also improved, but not as much as the physical things. It seems to me the improvement may be slowing somewhat, still improving, but at a slower rate. We both (I take the oil too) have totally eliminated allergy problems (runny nose, sneezing). She is 77, I am 83.
Coconut oil becomes a liquid over 76 degrees. I leave the container on the hot water heater to keep it liquid all the time. Cook with it, and put it on most anything.
My wife also takes Aricept and Namenda (because the neurologist prescribes them, IMO they are useless), and I attribute her vast improvement to coconut oil. I don't know what the long term effects will be, and am sure effects will vary with the individual, but the cost is small, can't hurt, and may help.
PS for the ladies - My wife's hair went from drab gray to shiny, full bodied, and I swear the gray is getting darker.
