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.

commonwealth Carers will find placement until he can be placed in the home he has been going to for respite
This won't be easy. You will have moments of great pain and great grief in which you will look for some ONE or some THING to blame. That's called normal. There is no upside quite honestly to the losses of age, and those who write platitudes about it just tired me out. But this is the right decision.
Now. About the going to restaurants. Once Dad is settled in, give a restaurant warning, and be ready to leave if you must, but other than that, take Dad out to eat. I can't imagine a life without the HOPE of a trip to Billy Reed's in Palm Springs for Fish and Chips and a glass of white wine.
If the CG is worn out, it’s an especially lose-lose situation for the CG and patient. He’ll have more support there physically and you don’t need to live every day like you are walking on eggshells and waiting for the next shoe to drop when you are already exhausted.
You’ve given your best shot and then some and it’s perfectly ok for you to feel or not feel any way that you want.
Placement is the hardest decision to make for all of us. Some never get there for a variety of reasons, even though they know this cannot work at home any longer.
When I decided I was done, let twisteds know. Their reply was but we wanted to wait until October, five more months. It wasn't even my mom that caused the decision, it was the twisteds. Their continued accusations, their complete lack of caring, complete lack of offering any sort of emotional support or hands on assistance.
Nope, I was done. They then found out how sick mom was. They preferred their denial.
So, panda, a permanent place will be found soon. Great that you have the option for respite until that can be completed. Here the only option for so many that just CANNOT any more is to refuse to take the patient home from the hospital. Many have had to resort to that.
Take care of you, relax as much as you can during this time.
Joy, hubby is in rehab now. You know he will not improve enough for you to continue care. But, you say you cannot provide the care much longer. Make your decision now. Do not take him home from rehab. Let the social worker help you with finding a permanent placement and solution. If you take him home the cycle will start all over again. You are half way there now. Do not turn back.
I hope the extra support kicks in quickly and is helpful. What will CC offer?
