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

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.

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:
With the dementia he would probably be better off in Memory Care rather than AL. Not that he would but in AL residents are free to leave the building. If he got it into his head to go for a walk it is possible. If you do not wish to remain in the same facility, I am guessing you are in Independent Living you can look for an apartment or condo that would suit you. If he has other medical conditions that require more skilled care it is possible that moving to Skilled Nursing is a possibility. If he is a Veteran please look into any services or benefits that he is entitled to. Check with your local Veterans Assistance Commission. they can look up his service record, their services are free.
Do you share a living space? That could be very expensive if you are in one part of the facility and he's in another.
You could have a small studio apartment that is not part of this facility and go to see him as you see fit. Nothing says YOU have to do 24/7 caregiving if there is already CG for him in his 'contract'.
It's so hard to watch a LO 'forget' us...my mom is sliding into dementia and it's so hard to watch and experience with her. She's healthy, at 92 and could very likely live to 100. But she's beginning to not make sense in conversation and cannot carry a train of thought for more than 5 minutes. I still DO go see her, but keep visits short and when she begins the slip into la-la land, I know it's time to leave.
You deserve to have a life, and you can accomplish that AND care for DH. It will take some doing, but it's possible.
I read that you don't have a car--and that is a problem that can be solved by budgeting for Ubers on the occasions you need them.
It probably boils down to finances--so make lists of the costs of living apart vs living in the same facility.
And DO NOT FEEL GUILTY if your decision comes down to leaving him in the care of the ALF. That's' why they are so pricey. Let them do their job and you carve out a life for yourself.
