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.

I do everything for her. So sad. She used to be a fabulous cook. My grandma too. They taught me. I taught my girls. I’ve always said that New Orleans has great people, music and food!
You NAILED it! You totally get it! I adored your response and thanks for making me giggle. Cats are such interesting creatures. I'm allergic to them and when my allergist suggested that I get rid of my cat after doing my allergy testing, I looked at him as if he had two heads. When he saw that I wasn't going to budge, he prescribed allergy meds and said to me with a sly smile, "I get it. I understand. I have a cat. But when your cat dies, don't get another one."
Cats are so independent. Old people have trouble relinquishing that independence. My 96 year old cousin just renewed her driver's license even after getting a speeding ticket at which time she told off the cop! So funny.
My daughter caught my mom rummaging through my husband's toolbox awhile back and said to her, "Grandma, what are you doing?" To which she replied that she only wanted to fix the brakes on her walker. My mother has always been quite handy but my daughter did not want her to risk hurting herself and tightened up the breaks for her. I finally got her to stop reaching for things in her closet because she has fallen reaching for things. It is so hard for them. Mom has Parkinson's. She has had home health with occupational and physical therapy but she doesn't keep up with the home exercises after they leave. Her balance is terrible. Nearly no strength left.
Yes, my mom lives with me and she wants everything her way. I do wait on her hand and foot. She has Parkinson's, is 93. Was just trying to make myself giggle for a bit comparing her to the personality of a cat.
Need more info to help.
