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.

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").

Joel, as JoAnn observes, the only posts you make are negative. Doesn't that tell you something about yourself?
"The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) recommends against the use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine and/or azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients (AI) and in nonhospitalized patients (AIIa)".
Thanks for the chuckle, OP, and step slowly away from the computer, OK?
However, if like me, you prefer the company of a few humans, do what you can to avoid harm: Vax up, good hand hygiene & cough etiquette, stay in when ill.
Let go of wht you can't control.
Drugs can be helpful, sure. But not magical cure-alls.
And surely getting vaccinated to prevent is preferable to trying unproven treatments to heal.
It used to be that 95 percent of those who get hosped now are fully unvaccinated. This is down to about 85 percent because vaccinations do wane, particularly J&J. It is prudent for everyone to get their booster as well.
Of course vaccinated people catch covid, Joel. It's about five times less likely, and 30 TIMES LESS LIKELY that they'll end up in the hospital. Why aren't more people in SNFs dying of covid? Because they're mostly vaccinated.
The vaccine is a preventative meant to reduce the strength of the virus if you get infected.
The links are about meds used to treat the virus.
Two different things.
This really isn't the forum to get into a rabid vaxxer/antivaxxer debate. .
It never hurts to read up on what the treatment options du jour are, in case you end up in the hospital. That way you can be involved in your healthcare.
When the vaccines rolled out, people in SNFs stopped dying or getting hosped from covid. There's nothing worse than living your life out on a ventilator unable to see people, which USED to be what happened before the vaccines when people were actually trying unproven drugs.
