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
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
I am a bit surprised no one has communicated with us whatsoever and it makes me wonder, hard as it would be to find how to pose a question as a "newbie" and with all the two month old questions popping up, if AC just is going to kind of move out of the "Forum" business. It seems odd no one would communicate with us regulars on the Forum. Perhaps will just stay tuned a few days and they will get to us. Hope so.
I am getting too old for change :P
I kind of agree. From their perspective, selling the product is now more front and center. Kind of too bad, as I think that now no one will really see this Forum. Our questions are already kind of deteriorating over time, and this may be the beginning of the end. I shall have to go into a 12 step program for my addiction to this Forum, do you think.
I am used to the set up now, but it was a shock going in, and of course I always immediately state with "Oh, no, what did I do!" Wish we had had a tad of warning about the new setup and how to get in. At least my little quaking avatar is still there. How I should have mourned her loss if not!
Overall I think the site is more focused on it's true purpose, which is selling care contracts via APFM.
Took me time to even get the Forum at all. I had to go to newsfeed, then click on an answer, then find caregiver Forum.
Wow, guess we will get used to it, but I sure don't like it at all.
Even on this post the avatars are all there, but not on other ones.
Also, "Forum" no longer is visible in my header menu.
I'm on a MacBook Pro running Safari 17.6
Did you make any changes?
Right now, I am grateful to the AC tech, who wrote me an email. Now, my private messages is fixed, and I can receive messages now! Anybody want to test that out for me?
It was my fault! When discouraged about not being able to post, I went to my Settings/Privacy and messed around, not knowing what I was doing, or what I did.
Thanks again, AC!
I am back, and the little blue man has stopped talking to me on my computer,
he's gone.
Thank you.
I cannot access my profile page. I have logged out & back in. I cleared the cache (I think). What else do you suggest?
