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.

When you roll her roll her using the draw sheet and gather and grab the sheet at her shoulder and hip and gently pull using the sheet. It will apply even pressure along her back and eliminate any pressure from holding her at the shoulder and or hip.
She can still go on Hospice, if she improves then she will "graduate" from Hospice. But while she is on you can get a lot of help, support, equipment and supplies. If after a while the POA decides that we wants to withdraw her from Hospice he can at any time.
They were a bit more work for us but a whole lot more comfortable for her.
We used washable covered with high absorbency disposal ones. Two people could just pull them up underneath her and she didn't have to be handled at all.
Hospice means that you have a terminal illness but you can get better and go off hospice. Please do some research about what it looks like and then encourage the POA to read up on how it could benefit your mom and her quality of life. They provide meds that some believe kill their loved ones, but you DO NOT have to give them the medication. You are in complete and total control. They are there to provide comfort care and support for everyone. I really recommend checking it out.
I tried several types for my Husband and there were always times when he leaked (flooded is more like it)! What helps the most is a good under pad. I found a great one on the Costco website the brand is "Conni" think it is an Australian company. Each pad absorbs over 80 fluid ounces. (washable and good size)
there are companies that have all sorts of brands that they ship to your home (I am sure someone will provide names) but call and ask for samples before you buy cases of them.
If you find you like Depends Costco several times a year will put them on "coupon" and cut the price by about $8.00.
By the way the incontinent supplies I got from Hospice were at no charge so if I changed them a bit more often it was no big deal. I would change him every 2 hours. If he was not wet just re positioning him would often get the bladder to empty within the next 15 minutes or so.
By the way with the bed sores she should have a wound nurse assigned. Hospice is great with wounds and will send a nurse that is trained in the care of wounds.
