Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

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:
She has an Amazon Alexa but forgets to use it. Magnifiers dont help. A caregiver comes in 3 days a week. Family available the other days. Very unpleasant to be around in last couple months.
MJ1929's idea is a wonderful one. As well as this, I, as a lifelong Nurse, believe one of the most difficult things is for family to have empathy with an elder. To truly know "where that person is at". For many of us (I am pushing 80) we have had productive and wonderful lives, have lived fully, and are more "ready" than a younger person can fully understand, to go to rest. There is a difference between depression and acceptance. When younger I often saw people as depressed and giving up. As a nurse I learned that often the sitting in quiet contemplation was remembering a life fully lived, and seeing or even listening to the sounds of life surrounding us. My own father was one of my teachers in just how exhausted with living one can get. Plain old tired out and so ready. Every response now a struggle. And I had many patients that expressed the same to me, but could not speak with their families because when they said "I would like to go now; I am ready and just so tired" the family was desperate and unhappy. They often could share their real feelings with their nurses more easily than with family. It would be useful to have more information from you Geneva. What discussion have you had with your loved one? Have you asked about their feelings? What have you tried already to more engage your loved one in life? How long has the approaching blindness been here? What do they miss? What can they still enjoy? Best wishes to you and welcome to the Forum.
A little more information would be helpful. Is the person who is going blind able to be helped with adaptive devices, like sheet magnifiers, talking books and the like?
Is this a big change in their mood ( i.e., usually optimistic, now suddenly depressed.)?

They were very helpful when my mother had macular degeneration.
