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.

Mostly Independent
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:
Extra TP, a back-up/emergency supply of chux, flushable wipes, Lysol spray, LOTS of disposable vinyl gloves, room deoderizor, extra strength Tylenol (for you)...all important to keep on hand. You're also going to need alcohol (NOT the rubbing kind).....and chocolate. Or ice cream. Both chocolate AND ice cream would be best. Did I say alcohol? Beer...wine...vodka...tequila...whatever floats your boat. If money gets a little short and you have to choose between Depends and a 12 pack of Corona, go with the Corona. The Depends can wait. That's why you keep the extra supply of chux on hand.
Hmm advice from the seasoned caregiver 1.Never eat anything the patients give you, you don't know where it has been. 2 Watch the old men. they pretend to be asleep so they can pinch your butt as you walk by 3. The brown marks on the sheets are not chocolate.
No new advice but I wanted to bring this thread up to the forefront. I notice a LOT of new caregivers here and wanted them to get a needed giggle as well as the great advice posted here. I'll be watching for new ones. I could use a giggle myself!
Very funny. I hope I can keep my sense of humor! I'm going to be 24/7 caregiver you're all managing to do it I'll be able to do it too. Actually I'm scared to death!
What did grandma say to the new caregiver? "I see you are new here i hope you like it" Whatever made you think that" the caregiver asked. "Your shoes are clean'!!!!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate the little Joys on this Journey. They are few and far between. Ask questions about the "old" days. I've heard some REALLY juicy family gossip, since Mom's filter is gone.
Haha Horsepilot....Dinner and a dump...meaning dumping guilt, a diaper load, dumping the food on the floor, dumping paranoia, delusions,...and the latest on the neighbors.
Don't put off cleaning the poopy mess on the beddings. Best to clean it when it's still "freshly" made and easy to come off from the garden hose. Wait for it to dry, and you have some scrubbing to do before putting it in the washer.
When it's meal time and you're dispensing his herbal supplements.... if he tells you that morning shift (me) did not give him this, and this and that... Don't automatically believe him. Verify first before dispensing. That's why he's breaking out from hives - he's getting more dosage than is recommended.
