Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

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:
The client's family has told me to not let the client see her mail, for fear she will lose it. Is it legal to do this? I don't feel it's right to keep someone from seeing their own mail.
If the family doesn't want her seeing mail because she might lose important papers, then that mail should not come to her home. They can have the addresses changed to go directly to the person that deals with it.
I think the most important thing to know is, does she WANT to see her mail? Is she waiting for something in particular? Does she wonder if anyone ever sends her cards? Does she worry because she doesn't see any? My husband periodically asks if I've paid the utility bill, usually soon after something has happened that makes him wonder about utilities. I tell him yes and he's happy.
My husband doesn't do anything about the mail, but he checks it every day. He doesn't understand very well how much money is worth anymore, but he opens the bank statement occasionally just to make sure we have some. Of course, I was in charge of balancing the books before his dementia, so he always gives the mail to me afterwards.
A second question is, is she at risk of buying things she doesn't need because she saw an ad for it in the mail? If so, the family should make sure she doesn't have access to credit or debit cards, because she could do that from TV ads just as easily.
Personally, I think that going thru mail might be a good "chore" for a loved one, as long as you collect the important papers right after she sees them and put them away (or hide them before you show her the unimportant mail so she's not reminded about bills she might feel aren't being paid or are "too expensive" in her eyes). She might like to check the grocery store flyers for sales on things she likes. She might like to see the fashion catalogs or department store ads. My husband likes to check out the bathing suit ads in the clothing catalogs--hey, he's a guy.
