Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

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:
Check out the Ring products on Amazon. They connect to your home WiFi network and are motion activated. You can get a notification on your phone when the motion sensors detect movement.
There are many online, an alarm system is more complete if set up to call your phone when it goes off. Will you be in the house with her or do you want it to notify you remotely? those are main questions to know. We use the onsite alert ones as there`s always someone in the same location.
Thank you all, a friend who’s in the technology business recommended Simplisafe. It’s affordable and well rated, so I bought today and will let you know how it works. We’re always here with mom, but somehow she slipped out.
Looking forward to your personal review of the product.
Is it possible to put additional deadbolts on the doors up high? I saw this with doorknobs at a very old NH. No wandering as demented people apparently do not look up. Go figure.
Dead bolts are NOT really safe in the case of a fire as NO ONE can get OUT and the FIREMEN CANNOT GET IN.
{FYI: People with Dementia DO LOOK UP, especially when they are 6 feet tall and they sit where they can see the staff unlocking and locking the deadbolt routinely whenever the staff opens the door. One of our Dementia residents got really good at unlocking a deadbolt so that he could "go to work" at the newspaper office that he had worked at all of his life.}
Child-proof doorknobs might be a better option. Many nursing homes use "visual deterrents" to prevent a person with dementia or Alzheimer's from going through a doorway or a door.
Here are some websites of Stop Signs made especially as visual deterrent for wandering. Many of the signs are attached with Velcro-like fasteners so that you can take them off anytime you want to. The sign will need to be remove prior to your loved one going out the door.
