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"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. 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. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

We also had a loud BOOM noise. But our lights went out for a minute.
My dH found nothing, but said it was a transformer or something like that.
Later on a local website, there was a report of a car crashing into a pole causing the lights to go out.
Do you have a local website that people post happenings such as this?
I am finding it helpful, getting more information quicker, better than the news.
One is titled Emergency Now.
Pam, wonder what it was? Especially for it to upset your pooch too. Hmmmm.
This morning, it looks like her gloom clouds may have parted a bit. And as bad as it sounds, it made me chuckle a bit to see her jump and squeak when she opened the door and it chimed at her. I asked her where she was going, and she said she didn't realize we'd put chimes on the doors. She went back to her room. She didn't have her shoes on, or a jacket. In 58 degree weather? I don't think so. These door chimes are annoying as fudge, especially when you have three children home from school who go in and out a million times a day. But, I think they are worth it if I can make sure she can't get lost in the neighborhood again, shoeless and coatless.
Fight the insurance company's ludicrous denial!
You will win, and your dentist will appreciate it.
Most insurance companies will automatically deny at least 75% of claims.
(The percentage is usually much higher, but I am toning it down.)
Appeal it. Just asking for a common sense explanation may get it approved.
My absolutely f a v o r i t e saying is "What can be done with paper can be undone with more paper."
I don't remember if I made it up, or found it somewhere. But it speaks to me!
We smiled, and did not proceed until he also smiled, gave us a thumbs up, so I went ahead....e v e r s o s l o w l y! Laughing.
Fortunately, he was one who had a good sense of humor, darn, I coulda been shot. I know better, but just could not help myself. Feeling like I saved his life today. Or someone else's. Waved bye, and Happy New Year!
Jules,
What kind of popcorn?
Ha Ha. Didn’t think you were the ones behaving badly!!!!
ROFL. I needed a laugh!
Happy New Year
if you can, pop a couple of Advil ahead of time to relax you
Always best to look on the bright side? I didn't like to ask how long it had been since she lost him. Sadly missed, I'm sure, all the same.
FitBits ShmitBits. One step nearer to implanted electrodes, if you ask me (what conspiracy theory?!).
Thanks for all the nice Birthday wishes everyone~
had takeout delivered and ordered enough for staff -
with the continued cost cutting, the kitchen never seems to have food for them - this was not the case in the past much less on a holiday - morale is so low
the Viking was still chatting in bed after prayers - kept her up late too
and to all a blessed good night
I ignored her pleas to stop so she bit me
I said oh swell now I have to get a rabies shot 💉
she said I’m not a dog 🐕
It was the longest night of the year!
