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.

I would have to give up my Medicaid and get Insurance and File . in order to get paid. How much is to be determined ?? We're in our 70's. and new to this area about 6 yrs. know noone . have 2 kinfolks but they drink- and smoke. So my delima(sp) What to do. VA. A and A. ??
Another thing I discovered was that the VSO's (Veteran Service Officer) that had helped us all along with dad's various applications suddenly wasn't there one day. All the in-hospital volunteers were no longer there and the offices were closed. So we had to travel to the closest VA regional office instead. We did find them to be very helpful there, however, and they were able to tell us right away what mom qualified for and what she didn't, even while they were preparing the forms for us. Take your mom with you if at all possible (they will have her sign an affidavit so that you can speak for her) and any paperwork that you have from VA plus the vet's discharge paper, especially, if you have it. Prepare to spend a lot of time there.
A disclaimer, this is what I found, but you will want to investigate for yourself! I hope you are successful for your mom's sake and thank you for your dad's service.
Also, everything that a vet's spouse applies for will be approved or denied based upon her income. My mom made $300.00 per month too much to qualify for anything at all. If anything changes however, as in medical fees increasing, you can reapply. Save any receipts or invoices for medical care. I also found that long-term care (nursing home) for a spouse will be paid by Medicaid first, then VA will pay any fees remaining. So all the requirements for Medicaid apply before any veteran status is considered.
Happy for you!...it is hard enough without all the added stress (BS)
Maybe there was another way but... You don't know what you don't know. In any event my sister and I lost a lot of income while caring for our father, 24/7 for a few years. I wonder if it is possible to re-coup some of it?
