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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

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:
Mbld, thank you for coming back! I'm sorry if we were unfair to you - it does happen that in the absence of information people can sometimes pick up an idea and run wild with it; but you've cleared everything up beautifully.
The trip hazard seems to be the practical problem; so I googled accessible bocce ball* and there are quite a lot of articles about it including:
Cape must upgrade bocce court's accessibility - NBC-2.com WBBH ... www.nbc-2.com/story/14273055/.../cape-bocce-court-not-handicap-accessible-enough 17 Mar 2011 - Cape Coral is facing possible legal action if a city bocce ball court isn't ...
Is there an accessible court where your team plays? Might you be able to get one set up?
Then there is your friend's sadness and frustration, perhaps because she's losing her train of thought during rounds? That is of course much more difficult to relieve; but perhaps your opposing team might agree to her being "buddied" by one other player who can guide her throughout; and perhaps you could each take it in turns to do this?
Looking ahead, I know you can get nice, well-made indoor boules sets because my toddler son dropped the jack from mine into my crystal vase and shattered the base of it - ! It's not just elders who can be problematic around this game :)
I agree that you might want to discuss the lady's difficulties with her husband, but listen rather than talk to him. He'll want to ensure that she benefits from the socialisation for as long as possible, and he'll be hugely relieved to know that you're all willing to help him find a way to let her back off slowly without losing face or contact with you.
High five! Hope you find a way.
*what is bocce ball??? You learn something every day! - thank you :)
I seem to recall reading that a major issue in some forms of dementia is misperception of thresholds between rooms and on other services. I don't know if it would help, but you might consider using brightly colored duct tape at the lip of the court while you play.
mdld3207: Yes, thanks for returning. Lawn bowling is such a beautiful sport. Perhaps you can pull this friend aside and ask if you can help her. I have friends who are bocce experts and live in Cali. Note to Countrymouse.
