Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
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.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Today we had a big blowout because now she wants to make other arrangements of which she does not have the funds to do. I am sick because all my husband and I have tried to do is make her life more comfortable.
Hi Lost I am sorry you are in a rough patch here. This is so hard for you and mom and of course DH. Do your very best to do as mom suggests to find alternate care. You will learn a lot about what is available and what is not. Don’t assume because she doesn’t have big bucks for ALF that its your job to care for her. In fact the best way to get her help is to present her situation just “as she is”. Call your Area Agency on Aging. Have them step in to advise you of which resources are available for you and for mom. Its best to get her name on lists if necessary early rather than late. Read all you can about her condition. Listen to Teepa Snow videos. Read “Being Mortal” by Atul Gawande. Read the “36-Hour Day”. Visit this forum often and you will pick up pointers that will help you along the way. Establish boundaries and take good care of yourself and your husband. That’s best for all three of you. No one wants their kid (or anyone else) telling them what to do. Take a breath. You can’t fix it, you can only manage it and remember that everyone’s feelings matter. I heard my 93 yr old aunt Muttering one day. “ At least I remember to wipe. I don’t notice anyone wanting to take that job over”.

Oh my goodness! I am almost rolling on the floor! I can completely picture that and it is cracking me up, although I am sure it was no fun for you at the time. Thanks for ending my day with a laugh:)

They don’t realize that the roles reverse because they aren’t always able to make the best choices.
Still, it’s extremely difficult for them to lose their independence. I don’t know if their is a good answer for this. I wish I had a solution for you.
I wish you and your family well.
