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").

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.

Hilarity Rules! It will keep you sane. When we laugh at absurdity, it gives a fresh perspective. You just have to be careful not to get hysterical, or you're back to whacko again! Heehee. Have fun:) xo
Ladde-sorry if my title startled you -(hee hee- no really, sorry -I was in an ornary mood).
Hi Christina! How are you???:0)
Laura, Wilma, Allison--you guys totally got what I was aiming for-yay.
Yaya-you always make me laugh-your visual of your MIL(MIL right ?) made ME get a visual !! :^0
All in all Mom and I had a good week. Sophie got very mad at her Papa when he came to take Nana back home--it really made my Mom feel good, I think, as she sometimes expresses that she feels like she has nothing to offer. She still drives me nuts with her bell ringing and her Requip but , again, "it was only temporary"
(((hugs))))
So glad most of you got my little thread. I really do think you full time caregivers are awe inspiring. Not that part timers don't do a lot either, just, well, it is different.
I gotta go back and read all your posts! BBL :0)
SharynMarie, I like that salad, too. Sometimes I add toasted walnuts with raspberries or strawberries, field greens, red onions, and a little gorgonzolla with the vinegrette.
Yum, drool. The aroma of pork shoulder with garlic, fresh oregano, kosher salt and cracked pepper is wafting thought the house... guacamole made and pico de gallo next.
All of you are much better caregivers than I, I'm sure:) xo
Captain, can you please freeze up any of your left-overs and ship to me?? It would be much appreciated :-)
I think most of our siblings won't let themselves "go there." Not even for a minute. Because then that means the guilt, and the need to help, will follow. So the caregivers go it alone.
Its what we do.
And captain, you need to teach me and bookluvr how to cook. ;D
Love you guys.
Thank you Mishka for the kind words you posted. Many of us NEVER receive kind words for the tasks we complete on a daily basis.
Have a GREAT day!
My siblings came when mom was dying. When they left, they all Conveniently Forgot how hard it is for me to deal with father. Out of sight, Out of mind.
I truly did enjoy your comment above. I will admit that I saw the title of your discussion earlier and had no incentive to read it. After I read your comments, I can see why you said it that way. But, I do think the title will turn off people from reading it. Too bad. I'm glad that you DID enjoy your mom. Soooo, when is the next time??? {{laughiing}}
sharynmarie, those clothespins are the squeezie-pinchie kind, right? Argh! Just got a visual of my MIL running through a sprinkler wearing nothing but her Lifeline necklace......**shudder!!**
