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.

Does your clinic really have no patient portal system in place? Like MyChart?
Tomorrow I plan to call that medical practice and tell them I will bring in my driver's license and insurance card on the day of my appointment.
I am really surprised that this medical practice has this type of software, as the practice is for age related eye diseases. And I remember years ago, when I took my parents to the same office for their appointments, I was the youngest one in the packed waiting room [I was in my mid-60's].
I went to a new dentist a couple of years back. Girl comes out with an 8 inch tablet where there is a form to fill out. I asked for a stylus, she didn't have one. I had my own TG. My hands are always cold so have a hardtime with touch screens. Asked what they do for people that have no idea how to use tablets, like my husband, she said, she helps them. With my DH that would be hard because he is almost deaf too.😊
So there I was trying to read the print which wasn't large enough for me to read, so had to bring out my large magnifying glass. Was sitting by the windows, thank goodness the sun wasn't out as I could have burn a hole in the paperwork :P
Wasn't easy balancing the clipboard, pen, and magnifier. The arthritis in my writing hand started to make itself know by the second page, so the printing started to look like I had one too many glasses of wine.... [sigh].
The test/x-ray for macular degeneration was interesting. Had dye inserted in my arm for one x-ray test. The tech had a great sense of humor so it was comforting. Then the tech said I will see different colors afterwards. Since I didn't partake in the hippie movement, this color thing was cool :) The white walls turned red.... when I closed my eyes saw dark green.... then the walls were pink.... closed eyes now blue.
As for treatment at this stage, special vitamins called Focus. Thankfully the chewable one aren't causing stomach upset like the coated vitamins I tried months ago.
Both my parents had this eye issue, so now it is my turn.
