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.

Inever knew you were relocated after Rita and you were still able to encourage all of us. Thanks for passing on information,
Try to find some respite from caregiving by going to your state aging services people. Just type your state name and "services" or "aging services" online, and you should find some links. You may get some phone numbers of agencies that can help you. Every state is different, but it's worth a try.

I too am so sorry to hear you are struggling. Have you had a family gathering with your siblings to make some kind of arrangements for you and hubby to have time together or discuss some way that they can come and relieve you, even if it's just for a few hours on the weekend helps.
I'm too am the oldest of three and taking care of my Mother, after the death of our Father over a year and a half ago, because I chose to do this after my siblings expressed that they can't because of 'this or that reason' and I understood, but I explained to them that this was also their Mother as well and that they needed to take responsibility in her care and my sanity if I was to continue to be the soul caregiver of this situation. That helped tremendously to keep the communication open between the three of us and they are doing their part, when they can or even when I request them to help out in my time of need. Yes, I vent to them and that seems to keep them aware of what I am struggling through on a week to week basis.
My heart goes out to you. Sometimes it seems as if the burden is too much. Hang in there. Has your husband called his children to find out why they did not attend Thanksgiving? Did they even call? I read a lot of the e-mails on the site and so many children seem to take a lot of abuse from their parents. I am lucky because my mother is not abusive. If she was I don't know what I would do. Have you tried talking to your mom and explaining how it upsets you when she "gets down on you"? Maybe she is lonely and afraid since the death of your father. Keep in touch. It helps just to vent.
