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.

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:
Your husband is not "hiding things" but is putting things where he doesn't remember and then is accusing others of taking them. His brain is broken and he can't help what he does or doesn't do. I hope you're educating yourself about this horrible disease of dementia as that will help you better prepare for the future, although if you've seen one person with dementia you've only seen one person with dementia. If your husband in fact has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's(which is only one of many types of dementia)then his life expectancy is about 10-20 years as Alzheimer's is the slowest progressing of all of the dementias, so it's often hard to tell what stage one is in with Alzheimer's. I wish you well as you take this very difficult journey with your husband.
Paranoia is actually common to all stages and may be one of the first signs of dementia. This thing of people taking my "stuff" is often a first clue.
As to Stages, you should do a bit of internet self-teaching, as the computer is definitely your friend. Your favorite search engine (Google? Bing") and the words "Stages of Dementia" will be just a wealth of information for you to study.
"Stages of Dementia and Symptoms to Watch in Each - AgingCare.com" is also available to you on this very site. Go to the timeline and just to the left of your avatar you will see a magnifying glass. Click on that brings you to search. Click on that and type in the "Stage of Dementia" and you will find an article with a nifty list.
Do remember, your loved one is as individual as his own thumbprint. Things don't follow a certain trajectory, though in general the direction is downward. Good luck.
This often Happens because they constantly Lose things and cant find them and become Paranoid and cant remember where they Placed their Lost items so they Blame other people - This Happens a lot -
