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.

I recuse cats for 20 yrs! That is a lot of heartbreaks. Some I took in and others I found homes for...but for some I had to put down because they were to sick...I carry scars on my heart for every cat that I tried to save!🐈💕
I just hope the people who took these cats and dogs in will keep them.😺
Isthisrealyreal, is right! It is much easier to deal with a mean crazy LO when you have a fur baby that you can love and play with or just laugh at when your fur baby is just be silly! 🐕
Animals help with our mental health. They lower Blood Pressure and help with Depression as well as anxiety!🐕🐈💕💙
Worried,
Media should be ashame of themselves! The pain that they cause! Unbelievably!!🐕
😣
I sure wish the media would shut their PIE HOLES already! This brings 'if it bleeds it leads' to a whole new low, doesn't it?
thank you for the luv.

You will certainly enjoy my other postings under the name Pharsytid
I appreciate your feedback and thank you for your time.
Drammamama- I apologize to you for “venting “ on this caregiver SUPPORT forum. My bad, obviously.
Actually, the virus was only found in animals and it mutated to effect humans. I think it was mentioned a while back that cats can be infected but I don't think dogs can.
This whole virus thing is questionable. And since China has been dealing with it longer, wonder why a vaccine has not been introduced. I think law enforcement is going overboard. OK to allow teachers to drive all over town beeping and saying Hi to their students. OK to let the Easter bunny travel around town in a truck waving Hi to the kids. But not ok for families who live together to drive around counting bears and eggs. Why, they said it was just not families but they were including neighborhood kids, other relatives, which was not true. They said the Govenor banned it but nothing official was posted. So, parents continued to search for bears.
It helps the poster to vent and that is what matters. Not some snarky comment trying to make someone feel bad for venting, how is that helpful when someone is upset enough to share their feelings?
I think the point is that the one safe comfort caregivers have during their caregiving journey is now being made unsafe by the medias opinionated reporting.
My fear is also that they won’t get past the hysteria and speculation phase before they are euthanized or worse.
