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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

Now if she is not aware of what she is doing then you need to readjust your expectations and limit what she can and can not do. You serve her, she does not serve or touch utensils other than her own. As far as the gas and picking at her teeth and nose you will probably have to try to learn to accept it for what it is.
Hard to scold the person who taught you manners.
That said, we are on constant watch when out in public with her. She has a serious lack of impulse control and will pick up items in others homes. Will walk up to strangers and touch them or their children and comment on something they are buying, wearing or their looks. I’m surprised she hasn’t been assaulted by someone she has surprised out of the blue yet. Fortunately she is tiny and sweet.
It sounds like the test won’t help as there is no problem with memory or coordination at this point. I realize we all decline at different rates in different areas.
Thank you for responding. Just venting helps.
I am a bit OCD with cleanliness and hand washing and licking serving spoons would send me over the edge, disgusting is minimizing it.
Some people think that the privacy of your own home allows disagreeable behaviors, not when others live there. Social niceties still apply.
Our discussions up to this point have been useless. She comes back with a pitiful “I just don’t do anything right around here” (has always been very confident) or “Well I guess I’ve been alone for so long” ( Baloney. Lived by herself for a total of two years and her social schedule was crazy.). The first two didn’t get sympathy so then she threw the “You’ve always been OCD and a bit of a germaphobe”. She tries to reel in my husband on that last one but he finds her behavior gross as well. He is just less confrontational.
Your last sentence is what I will focus on for our next talk. She was obviously aware of social niceties when we all visited with each other over the last 30 years.
Again, thank you.
