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.

May God grant you grieving mercies and comfort during this difficult time.
You are right, what he did was criminal. I pray that he gets prosecuted for calling in help that he chose not to utilize and instead put so many seniors in the path of destruction from this horrible virus.
Now it's time to do something about the murdering of seniors and the poor health care worker in assisted living and nursing homes by our elected officials like Andrew Cuomo. These governors must be accountable. Let me know how you feel.
You're right, the United States didn't have enough PPE. That was because on January 7, 2020, the U.S. had shipped nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to China.
And here the United States already had two cases of the C-19 from late December. Then when the virus started to multiple overnight, companies weren't able to make PPE equipment fast enough to give to the States that were dealing with high counts of patients with the virus. The States were, in fact, competing with the U.S. government for PPE supplies, thus pricing the States out of the competition. It's like us average citizens looking for toilet paper and finding none on the shelves.
This was happening in not only New York nursing homes, but other nursing homes around the nation. What were nursing homes suppose to do? They were short handed, caregivers and staff were also getting sick, some dying. The hospitals didn't have enough respirators. No one was ready for this 100 year pandemic.
Studies were done, the United States government was slow to take notice, and when the U.S. finally did notice, it was slow on doing something about it.
