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.

So I’m going to guess that …..…
What is going on is she is 96.
At that age there is bound to be some cognitive problems . She also could be having mini strokes ( called TIAs ) .
And she may be napping as well .
It can take some elderly a little time to get reoriented after sleeping .
If she is living alone that should change as she could do something out of the ordinary in a stupor. She may need assisted living .
An older person I new, was very upset because he read a letter that his sister sent him, that was really nasty. We looked high and low for this letter and figured out it was a dream.
Very few of us have medical backgrounds other than what we've learned along the way.
This could be something serious like TIA's, UTI, or even the start of dementia. All of which would need addressing, so please call her doctor today and make an appointment for her to be seen.
My Mom lives next door to me. She's 95. If I got over there or call her, she is often sleeping in her chair and is a little groggy when she wakes up at first. BUT, I wouldn't make the assumption that this is what's going on with your Mom. When was the last time you saw her in person? How far away do you live?
Is anyone her PoA? Does she have a trusted neighbor who can check in on her?
The only way to determine what is going on is to make an appointment with her doctor. Make sure she goes.
In advance of the appointment you contact the doctors office (use the Patient Portal for secure communication) and let the doctor know that you have noticed these changes...and list the changes you have noticed. Let them know about things that you may have brushed off but looking back might have meant something.
There is no way we could determine what is going on. Particularly since you have given NO information about mom. Age, medical condition and other info that might be helpful.
