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.

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 is receding rapidly because she cannot hear. Family insists there is nothing that can be done because when she leaves the doctors office, he says her hearing is fine.
Do you check her aide? Meaning, is she putting the battery in correctly. Is she able to adjust the volume control? For the elderly its hard to turn those little wheels. My husband does not do well with the digital. He did better with analog.
An audiologist is not a doctor. When they do the test its done with single words. Like cat, dog, etc. My DH hears this but has a hard time with sentences. I assume she saw the ear doctor. Both my husband and my Mom had ear wax so bad they had a problem hearing.
You should be able to go back for a tweeking. They adjust digitals. They may ask Mom if she hears and she does hear something but does she hear actual words.
1) Does your mom have dementia? If so dementia can effect the part of the brain that is responsible for hearing. And because dementia can come and go in the early stages this can cause her to hear at times and not at other times.
2) Could be that she needs a second option. But I doubt if this is the problem. Just throwing it out there!
3) She can really hear and is just saying she can't for attention. Why? Who knows! You'll have to figure that one out.
4) Psychosomatic--she thinks she can't hear, therefore she can't hear! What we think we become or will happen! No one knows exactly how this happens; although, there is a lot of theories and debates about it. I for one, do believe if we tell ourselves that we are sick we become sick. If we tell ourselves that we are healthy than we are healthy. In fact, I never get the flu shot--ever, and I never get the flu! Haven't got the flu in 25 yrs. Why? Because I have and do believe that my immune system are little marine soldiers. Where I got this idea I have no idea! I also eat right, exercise, don't do drugs, don't drink, and at my core belief I refuse to get the flu! However, anyone reading this please do not stop getting your flu shot! This works for me, and I am not telling anyone to stop taking any medications. This information was use as example...that's it!
I hope this helps you to figure out what is going on with your mom's hearing!
