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. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. 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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
Keep us up-to-date.
We will be going back tomorrow.
Yesterday, my wife was non-communicative. She didn't utter a single word, looked like she didn't know where she was and slept most of the time we were there (about 20 mins)
Today was a 100 % turnaround. She seemed to recognize us and was quite expressive but let us know politely when she was tired and needed to retreat.
All in all ... a real encouraging turnaround.
Tomorrow is another day.
I realize it was a difficult decision for you and your daughter to place wife/Mom into a memory care facility, but it was a good decision. Excellent idea of either you or your daughter visiting Frances every other day for a few minutes or longer. Frances does need to get herself use to the facility, use to the Staff, and if possible make friends.
Yes, come back to us with any questions or to just vent. We will listen.
I hope both you and your wife are settling into your respective places. I can imagine that it is hard for her and you being in new places and being separated from each other. Please do share your experiences with us here and we will be more than happy to provide feedback. You will find that many of us are in the same boat as you and understand what you, your wife, and daughter are going through. Look forward to reading your next post.
Come often to share your experiences!
Please keep us posted on your journey, we all learn from and comfort each other.
I am sorry about your wife. I am happy to know that you will be close to your wife and daughter. I am very well acquainted with the rolling hills of Meridian. I hope your wife settles in well and that you both will be happy there. Come back and share whenever you want. This is a supportive and caring community.
