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.

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:
The last funeral, a person she knew from church a long time ago, she attended she was confused and wanted to leave. My sister does not think I should take her. I am torn. We have known this man for over 57 years.
While the thought is nice, the combination of Alz with Covid-19 says this would be a mistake. I don't see anywhere how long ago the previous funeral was, but it WAS in the past and Alz doesn't get any better over time - it may not have regressed much or any since then, but if she was confused and wanted to leave then, it likely won't be different now. On top of that is the concern for Covid-19. Even with masking and distancing people sometimes get exposed and might get sick. Being older, she is at even more risk. Having cognitive disorders, how well does she do wearing a mask? My mother kept taking hers off.
While it is nice to honor the person and their family and friends by attending, it really wouldn't serve a good purpose to take her. If you can safely attend, you can express condolences for her as well, and perhaps share a few fun memories that you have about her and this friend.
Even for those who are aware of what is going on, often they become restless, tired, maybe even irritable, when out of their "comfort" zone for too long. After taking mom to see the place we had chosen, which was more of a fun outing in a way, she, on return home, said it was nice, but next time she wouldn't go (by then she thought we were looking for a place for my YB!!!) Often they forget why they are there, what's going on or that they even went. They will forget the person passed. My mother began asking about her mother, 40+ years after she passed and she went to the wake and funeral! That memory was obviously gone.
Anyway, I would perhaps spend time talking with her about the friend, asking questions, viewing old pics together, etc, to celebrate his life instead of his death. In her mind, even if she went to the funeral, he would likely still be alive, so go with that!
Ask her if she want to go and be prepared to leave early. No one will think badly of you for trying or for putting your mother's needs first at the time, and ensuring no disruption for the bereaved.
