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.

To add insult to injury, two positive covid cases have come up in my mother's ALF now, one in the reg ALF bldg and one in her MC bldg which only houses 23. The positive tests are being isolated and the one in MC is asymptomatic, at least for the moment. The residents are now being tested weekly meaning I'm certain we'll be seeing a rise in the positive cases over there.
One day at a time, right?

You may remember stories she told us re trying to get Mom to get/accept some help. Her Mom a stroke a few days ago. On hospice care. Only thing we can think is to provide a bit of support and know that her Mom did it HER WAY, which she was always so adamant about.
Lealonnie1, I know you know also. Hubby in for triple bypass, surgery most of this day. Lealonnie one of the smartest and kindest posters here, so much gentle compassion for others always in her heart.
I know we will all pull for these special folks in tough days.
Seems like everything is hitting everyone at once.
But I know believers here will pray for us all, and I know it is so appreciated by all. However we support, care, hold those going through tough times in our thoughts I think is a comfort.
My little granddaughter said to her mom the other day "Mom, I don't feel Ok. I'm not sick, I just feel scared and lonely and I hate that I can't see Nonny (that's me) hardly ever". (She's only 9 and VERY astute.)
Her mom realized that we need to spend more time together, masked, etc. that her kids are becoming depressed and scared all the time and this was supposed to be such a great time. (They just moved home after 6 years of medical training for her daddy).
I try to visit neighbors and talk to people, ,but it's hard. I know that after this horrible election is over, whatever the outcome, it will be something to quit talking about. For a lot of us, the never-ending stress is untenable.
I DO pray--all day, everyday. It helps, but I'm still very anxious and depressed.
I think we're all pretty tired.
