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.

Hold in there, I wouldnt make any plans right now about your mom and pup. You need to get past this first.
I'm sure Mark is not in any pain and hardest on those who care.
I sure hope that hospice has been brought on board.
I'm sure you are sad for him and for what should have and could have been, but everything works out the way it should. I'm just glad that you're near family now.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
It always seems to me that words are not enough at times like these.
Please know that I feel for you and pray that you can feel the support of those on this site who care and would wrap their arms around you if they could.

As for SIL the good news is you don't have to talk to her. She has no idea what she is talking about and is just lashing out at you. You went above and beyond for Mark and put up with a lot from him and even though you finally initiated the divorce you were always showing care and concern and love for him.
I am confused about the DNR do you mean the nephew thinks it's unethical to sign one? I think thats what you meant based on the hospital saying it would just prolong the inevitable.
Avoid futile or burdonsome treatments where you can.
Attempting to do CPR on someone in a severley frail or terminal stage (to me) is all three: harm, futile, burdonsome.
I trust that Nephew finds the right person to easy any confusion he has over a DNR. It is not about 'doing nothing' & never about artificially 'ceasing life'.
It is about avoiding harm & dignity.
I hear ya and I'm right there with you, in my life.
You don't have to talk to the SIL, or any of them. I get how hard when you get a phone call not to answer it. But honestly you like me can't change a dam thing! What is talking to these people that seem to want to see Mark suffer , changing. The only thing it changes is makes your anxiety worse. You are a realist . What is all this worry helping, not a darn thing.
Keep us posted doggiemom
One thing I know for certain, NONE OF US knows what we would do in a situation until we are faced with the reality Of being in the situation. His family needs someone to blame and it appears those pick you, that doesn't mean that you have to listen or engage with them.
Glad to read you are not getting rid of your pups for your mom.
Take care of you and try to disconnect from their hateful garbage.
