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.

As a woman of 'faith' I knew that my dad and mom were simply moving from one state of existence into another. Like walking through a door.
I honestly still feel VERY close to my daddy, and it's been almost 19 years since he passed. When I am really low, and I am praying for comfort, he is there, I can feel his love and suport. He reminds me that this life is fleeting and it's all going to be OK.
I have not felt anything from mom-but we had a difficult relationhsip and it will take time.
Be kind to yoursef. You are in the pre-grieving state, and honestly, that's the hardest part, I think. Once they have passed, you can re-assess your life and find peace and calm.
Take comfort in that Dad is being kept comfortable. Hospice is also for the family , They can help you with grief counseling. ((Hugs))
There is no out with these situations, only through. Do whatever you need to accompany yourself down this wrenching road - including of course the well wishes from understanding strangers.
Another huge hug…
May The Lord give you comfort, peace and strength for this season in life. May HE wrap you and dad in HIS loving arms and keep you both as you walk this path.
Sending love and hugs.
Sending you hugs and well wishes. Thinking about you and your dad this morning. Hoping you make good decisions for yourself and gain peace with this time of transition for your dad.
Sending many hugs your way today!
It’s really difficult to see our parents declining.
I was very close to my father too. I’m sure that your dad knows how much you love him.
Wishing you peace as you lovingly spend time with your dad.
Please know that we are here for you if you want to talk.
Most of us here are "fixers" by nature. Not trying to fix or cure seems unnatural somehow.
I'm so glad that your dad is doing well. Try to look at this not as giving up but giving dad some peace and relief from being poked and prodded.
Hopefully he still has quality time left for you to spend together.
Please give yourself time to rest and find some happy things to do between visits so you have something cheerful to talk about.
Unless dad is "actively dying" you shouldn't be ignoring the other parts of your life.
