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.

My sister went through it when her husband died - motor vehicles (which had lost the loan satisfaction form, of course) and all the rest. I'm executrix also, so I've got it all when she passes - whatever that means. At least we made arrangements a few years ago with the funeral home. Mom refused to discuss anything so we figured we should pre-plan just in case one of us was away. And its a good thing, with her just having surgery and me planning a 2 week long camping trip next month. And boy do I need to get away. It may sound bad to plan a trip, but there is just no predicting, and Mom won't notice anyway.
When my brother-in-law was dying a year ago, my sister was unable to get away to see her for months, and Mom never noticed or asked about her. So, you can imagine she doesn't know/care when we are not there since she lives in the moment. Last visit she knew I was her daughter but though I was my sister. The visits I guess are more for us than her.
I am in the mist of doing change of address for a kazillion things for my Dad, including the Social Security. Dad never had any on-line accounts for anything, and I found setting up accounts on-line the easiest for me to do all the change of addresses. Dad has a bank account where I am the co-signer, but the account has only his social security number. So I had to set that up, too, for automatic deposit.
My helmet case was the Division of Motor Vehicles. Did a change of address, but what does the Commonwealth do, they put Dad's "mailing address" [which is my house] on his new driver's license [he doesn't drive but likes to have it for ID] instead of his place of residence. Oh well, when I get the energy I will dive back in and request the correct address and pay another $40 for the new license.
