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.

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.

Sorry to hear about your health issues and upcoming back surgery. I know we all want to be in two places at once, but you are doing the best you can. Like 97yearoldmom suggested there are many other ways to show your support and compassion for your mom and brother. I would talk to your brother about other ways to communicate with your mom. Facetime and Skype are great options as well. Just remember we all do the best we can.
One quick suggestion. My former father in law phones me through Skype. He can use head phones and better control the volume. It is much easier for him to hear that way. He calls to my home number, so I do not have to be on Skype at the same time. Perhaps your brother can help to set that up. Or if you do a video Skype call you can see each other.
So sorry about your back. I have some of that myself.
How fortunate you are to have a brother angel. Fortunate for mom also.
No need to feel guilty but you should take action. Help him out. Send him money. Order supplies on line to be shipped to her. Paper products etcetera. Pay for lawn service. Flowers are wonderful at any age. Think of something that would be of benefit for your brother. You'll feel more connected and like you are contributing. Perhaps you already do that.
Your mom will be with you on that surgery. Her love is all around you. You are her daughter. You are Super daughter, don't forget. She has set a great example for you. Send her cards and photos. Best of luck on your surgery. Set your intention to see your mom again. She will pull you through.
