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:
Beingblssed, the best thing you can do is contact your local agency on aging. Said agency should have a list of support groups in the area, and what type of support group you need.
When it comes to taking care of a person who had Alzheimer's/Dementia, it can be difficult to find an active group, mainly because so many caregivers are unable to take time out of their hectic schedule to attend.
In the mean time, we here would be more than happy to guide you with any questions you have. This forum is made up of experienced caregivers who have been down that road.
A good support group is a wonderful thing. I attend one twice a month in the morning and have great friends there. You can call the Alzheimer's Association at 1-800-272-3900
Online groups such as AgingCare can be very supportive, and they are open 365 a year. Stick around!
A local in-person group can be amazingly valuable, even if they only meet once or twice a month. I hope you find one! Small independent support groups not part of some national organization can be hard to locate. Do call your Agency on Aging. Also contact the regional or national organization for your loved one's disease, such as The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, or the Lewy Body Dementia Association, etc. Often support groups are sponsored by/held in nursing homes or assisted living facilities or adult day programs but are not limited to caregivers of residents. They may not be widely publicized but welcome newcomers.
I sure hope you find a suitable group! Would you mind coming back if you are successful and telling us how you found the group? This is a common need, and we learn from each other.
