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.

How very fortunate for your cousin to have had you as her advocate. I think it is hard to grasp death when it comes. Even though we know the person is very ill or old or terminal, it still shocks us when it happens. She was in a facility yet she was with you in so many ways. You will miss her and remember her and cherish your times together in days gone by. And her friend who came to be with her will also miss her. She was loved.
Hugs!!!
While I'm sad for your loss, I'm grateful as well that it was a peaceful passing, and I hope that that as well as the many years that you cared for her will dominate your memories as opposed to her last days.
You are a dedicated and amazing person, and I wish you peace as you navigate this next phase of your life.
I've been reflecting on her life since last week and going over so many photos, crafts, documents that make a life. I was her person, so to speak. I'm not sure it's really hit me yet. I have moments that I cry, but, I know she's fine and now with her other family members. I've lost quite a few friends over the last 18 months. It's unreal. All we can do is hang in there and support each other.
In the summer, after covid situation is better, we are planning her celebration of life luncheon.
I hope you will stay right here and help give all the wisdom you have learned forward; that would do her great honor.
Please take good care. I hope that some part of what you feel is what I have felt at the loss of those who I loved so in my life, that they need never be anxious or afraid or hurt again, that they are at peace, that I never have to be afraid for them.
