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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

I can totally relate to you since my mom (she's 96) lives with me for the last 3 years. She drives me nuts too but I am sure she doesn't realize how much she drives me nuts. I am also in the process of looking for some respite care so I can get away.(we have a family wedding out of town in Aug)
This site has been so good for me since I haven'e found any nearby caregiver support group to attend. We all feel the same way.....when will this end, when is it my turn (seems like never), stop feeling guilty for feeling angry towards the person. I pray every day for patience and sometimes it is still very hard to make it thru the day but right now this is the way it is.Even though we may have good things happen in our lives, this seems to overwhelm us.
Keep coming here to vent.......Everyone here is in the same boat.

I recommend you have a talk with your Mother and explain that you love her and value your relationship with her but that you also love and value your relationship with your husband and therefore, need and want to spend time alone together with him. Then respectfully decline if she persists to invite herself to go along when you and hubby want to go away for a weekend. I would recommend she go stay with someone or at a care facility if you do go away though since she is very old. Perhaps you could make arrangements for her to stay with someone just for a weekend now and then so you and hubby could just enjoy some time at home and sleep in your own comfortable bed rather than having to go away. I hope this helps. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers.
Blessings,
