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.

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:
They have things on Amazon called fidget blankets. Think of them like those fisher price all in one baby activity things of the early 70s, but actually stitched with felt onto a blanket.
Another thing might be getting her a stuffed animal or doll. There are more realistic ones for dementia.
We give a real grand time to my grandma, who's 87 with dementia.
We cheer her up. We make the funniest comedies, skits, and plays. We dress up like nuts. We make her laugh and forget about everything. We dance around her, singing her favorite French songs, and songs we composed saying how much we love her. She claps with her hands and sometimes sings along [when she can retrieve the words.]
No matter how old and declined she is, she still loves to look pretty. So jewelry and new clothing keeps her occupied too.
We also look at Photo albums together. Be it recent or very old ones. We tell her stories about her life [which she use to tell us when she was still able to] which is quite entertaining cuz she's a holocaust survivor.
We make parties quite often. She lights up. She might sometimes be very angry and nervous, but we don't take it personally, we know it's not her, it's her dementia. we just continue to try to cheer her up till we see a smile on her face.
Large picture books? Can she sort socks, fold towels? Coloring or drawing on a white board or large sheets of paper? Blocks, Leggo blocks, the ones for little kids they are extra large so they are easy to handle.
They now have adult coloring books, word finds, large piece puzzles you can do with her which she may enjoy.
My mom loves looking through magazines and I found a couple of magazine subscriptions to order for her. She enjoys being surprised by this mail.
Music is always good therapy.
My husband's aunt 93 loves to have a "pizza party" so we invite all the family especially my grandchildren who are still little. We have pizza and ice cream for dessert. Its always a surprise and she is delighted!
