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.

I have nothing to add to the great ideas above, other than to do things sooner than later. A senior's conditon can change so rapidly.
Good luck,

myhusband thinks his mother is fine untill one day she spent a weekend here and he realized she is not fine . so now his brother is staying with her . u wouldnt believe the things she does . bil filled me in on about her . i had to explain to him what to expect . he has no idea . poor guy hes going crazy !
For your grandma, it's about giving up control. If she's hearning/seeing things then being the familiar surroundings is going to make her feel safer so she'll really fight moving. At 87 the one thing we have to expect with our elders is change, they just slow down faster sort of like little kids seem to grown 2 inches in a month. The idea about a trial helper is great. Be sure to interview them before hand to see if you think they'll be compatible. My mom had a couple of really young girls that didn't work out at all - they didn't know how to clean, wouldn't cook food unless it came from a box and couldn't sit and visit over coffee. After she found friendly 55 year old, it was a perfect match. This is a tough situation and it takes a strong person to say the hard things to our elders. The loving thing to do is help her remain safe, comfortable and to feel loved - that's what you're doing so feel good about that. You probably already thought of it but - she should also have a durable Power of Attorney, a living will and a power of attorney for health care. Things can really get messy if you don't have these in place. Good luck!
