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

My reference is Bogleheads.org, a site that is moderated by volunteers.
When/if they censor/delete/close a thread, a reason is provided.
I have another question for you. How are the questions and discussions rotated?
So many times I see interesting questions and discussions that are posted.
Shortly afterwards, they seem to get lost in the shuffle because the same questions are shown over and over again.
I don’t feel it is because they don’t have many responses. These are questions and discussions that have received responses and are worthy of being shown.
They aren’t controversial topics that you don’t seem to favor. They are useful discussions and questions. The OP was actively posting on them as well.
When I happen to be able to find these lost questions, you have already closed them. Yet, other questions have remained open for years and years without any OP present.
This forum has tremendous value. It greatly helped me as a caregiver for my mother.
Please update us on the ‘fixes’ to the site. I find it very frustrating that I can’t edit posts in the ‘questions’ section or see who is posting. It makes it harder to follow conversations if we can’t see names of posters.
Also, posters are saying that entire posts have been deleted. Can you explain why this is happening?
Thanks,
NHWM
It is taking a long time to load. The little circle spins and spins until the survey pops up.
Now watch! It will come up every time you log into profile.

Please let us know what happened!
Quite honestly . At the end of my rope with FIL , just not in the mood to fill out a poll. I wish my circumstances were very different and didn’t feel the need to come here for pity from strangers . Therefore, I wouldn’t be here to fill out a poll. It’s pathetic that this selfish abusive man is upending my and DH lives this bad . Yesterday was a new escalation that I haven’t even written about on my FIL thread . By now I’m sure people don’t even want to read that thread and I don’t blame them . There is no new advice anyone can give me . It doesn’t have to be this way . I wish DH would grow a backbone or give up POA .
Any poll that allows users to take it more than once is going to be pretty skewed.
The other forum I belong to (which is run ENTIRELY by volunteers, no paid staff, no advertising and impeccably moderated) does not have these issues.
The poor quality of tech on this site is frustrating and off-putting.
Yes, very annoying!!!
I can’t remember. All I know is that it was bugging me. Sort of the way a telephone solicitor bugs me or spam texts do. 😝 LOL
I think AC should focus on their glitches first, then take their polls.
But I don't want to fill out a poll anyway, that's for the people still doing active caregiving.
I think it popped up in my newsfeed. Can’t remember now. It shows up immediately after logging into the website.
AgingCare is running a community poll for the next few days to gauge interest in new content. If you visit your profile page and scroll for a moment, the poll will pop up. We know that's a little annoying, it will be taken down mid-next week, once we get responses from a good number of community members. Thanks for your participation.
Finally, on the back end, Tech has been improving moderator tools. Users can't see this work, but it was a big undertaking and we're happy to release those improvements for the mods.
Have a good weekend, everyone.
