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.

Gotta admit, sorry having a off day , so nothing to add, hopefully tomorrow I can!
But I am greatfull for my beautiful flowers, I planted from seed.
I'm Great full for my amazing husband, who is so patient with me and my caregiving moods.
I am greatfull for this forum, and all the amazing people that have helped me . Even when they had to do some brutal honesty with me.
Even though things haven't been great, I know there will be good days ahead for me.
I’m grateful for the big fluffy purring cat on my lap right now.
I’m grateful for this forum, which has been the BEST help for my brain, even just reading through posts. Thank you all!
Grateful for learning a lot through going through this all with my dad, which hopefully will be helpful knowledge later when I, my family and friends go through the aging process
Yes mom is in pain, but mom raised my brother to be the golden child, then mom picked him (that could careless) to be her POA. Mom is the one that worships him. Mom is the one that hides her pain, when he calls.
Thank you 🙏
I am grateful that a daughter, one that I was closest to, has been reconciled after two years of distance. She says she missed me and wanted so much to be with me, but she is not to a place yet to deal with her father. We just did a long weekend with her family at a state park. It was so good to hug her and the family again. (We had a first step in May when she joined us to help us deal with my father's house.)
I am grateful for air conditioning right now!
I am grateful for the son that lives with us, even though he has issues, he handles the man stuff around here.
I am grateful for the wildlife we see at our house. Deer, raccoons, possums, fox are all regulars. Bear have been nearby (walked past my neighbor's pool Monday while she was in it, she was hoping he wasn't going to climb in, but he continued in my direction . . . and I wasn't home, boo hiss) but this year I have yet to see one.
Grateful for air conditioning in the heat wave we are having.
Grateful for having moved from my house to this condo. Life is much easier here.
Grateful for being pretty healthy all things, especially my age, considered.
And along with others very grateful for this forum. I think I have been here over 10 years now and it was a life line in my "caregiving of mother" days. At my age your friends die or get dementia, so grateful to have all of you to chat with at times. 🌷🌹💐💮🌺🌼🌻
Good for you! You’ll get a break and be able to relax because you will be too far away to go over to your Mom’s house , leaving your brother with POA to have to step up !!
Anyway, thanks for making this post; it was a good place to connect. This is my first time posting here. I look forward to learning more and finding community with you all.

I am grateful for your story today, wheat
I am very grateful today for some respite for a couple of weeks. R has gone for on a trip with one of his dds and 2 grandsons (planned before the accident). The boys are into ball games so it will be centered in that. He still tires easily so hopefully will get the rest he needs. I certainly will and am thankful for this time off. It's not been that bad but he needs more help than before so I have been "on duty" more. He is driving now and thankfully stops and rests when he needs to. He will have appointments when he comes back and I will go with him to those.
Golden, I'm so glad you are getting sometime to just do you! 🙂
Spoke with stubborn MIL on the phone , she has decided she ISN’T going to fly to Florida with a blood clot in her leg . 🙏🏻🙏🏻
For now anyway . 😬🙄
I think telling her multiple times over the last few weeks that we are NOT flying down there to rescue her if something happens may have worked !!! Either that or the fact that I actually got on the phone the last two calls .( rare on my part ).
