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").

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.

Why does your father have to come to those appointments?
He throws a tantrum?
So? So what? (I am quoting the therapist of one of our long time posters).
Wishing you peace. Hoping you will find the wisdom that is needed to carry on.
I don’t know if you have a support system. I hope that you do. If not, lean on us. We have all been there.
I feel so bad saying that but they don't want me around so I won't be
ok enough!
this place is awesome
NeedHelpWithMom thank you for that :)
They both need a nurse
I have found places they can get help but they won't follow through
They are like children they take each day as it comes and have never prepared for things after they are gone
Are you aware that your Dad very likely has the beginnings of dementia? That's how it often starts: bad hearing speeds up dementia, the brain functions badly. Bad eyesight isn't so connected to the brain. But bad hearing is very connected to the brain. You said he doesn't seem to understand what the doctors say. That's typical. I'm sure your Dad isn't stupid. He has the beginnings of dementia, that's what it is. Don't give any pills against dementia; it doesn't help. Let it be. But how about you force them to hire caregivers? They'll say no. But you force it. For example explain, even though it's not true, that you spoke to a lawyer who said you'll be held negligent of elder abuse, if you don't hire caregivers. You've been threatened with legal action. You're very worried about it, and it's best anyway for your parents to give it a try, before saying out-right no. Your parents will be doing you a favor so you're not charged with negligence and elder abuse. (It's not true, but this kind of conversation might help you).
