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.

hug!! :)
i know many people use that expression "This too shall pass",
but i really don't understand it.
it's probably not meant in this way, but the reality is, that in the context of many of our elderly caring troubles, it WILL NOT pass, until they die.
so by saying "this too shall pass", it means, "it will pass when they die." (and some people, who are so very burned out, feel of course a bit guilty to want the whole thing to be over soon).
anyway, of course, that expression isn't meant to mean that...
but that's the reality.
as for "this too shall pass" for any other problem/tragedy one is going through...
well, yes, eventually bad things pass/go away...
but in the context of helping our elderly parents, elderly LOs, we'll continue having problems.
i personally don't like the expression. but it's just me.
i understand that of course, it's just meant in the sense of "this specific problem/bad situation, will pass and i don't mean as soon as your LO dies."
hug!!
😉 “Congratulations on getting through the easiest part of life.”
"Can you post something positive in 25 words or less?"
It was posted under "Questions".
The Admin changed the topic to "Discussions", but changed it back to "Questions" when it put the responses out of order, causing comments to not make sense. The Admins comments correcting that have now been deleted.
The topic has now been changed back to "Discussions".
The title has been changed to:
"Can you get out a positive thought in 25 words or less?"
"Love is in the air?"
"I'm so grumpy I'm not even talking to myself!"
"Some people just need a high five
in the face.
With a hammer."
"I like onions."
"Some people just need a hug...around the neck...with a rope."
🙂 "I'm not only wearing my grumpy pants today...I have the whole outfit on and socks to match!"
"I hate it when I have to be nice to someone I really want to throw a brick at."
"Positive affirmations and murder list."
"If cats could text you, they wouldn't."
"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
"I love it when the coffee kicks in and I realize what an adorable bada** I'm going to be today."
"I'm having one of those days where my middle finger is answering every question."
"Every dead body on Mt. Everest was once a highly motivated person, so...maybe calm down."
"It isn't the ups and downs that make life difficult; it's the jerks."
"Ignore people who are sh*tty."
"Like on a conveyer belt, there will be a never ending supply of jerks that come into your life. Whether you stop the belt to dance with any one of them is up to you."
positive thought in 25 words or less? here:
"Every woman's dream is that a man will take her in his arms, throw her into bed...and clean the whole house while she sleeps."
