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.

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").

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.

Ring cameras can either be plugged into electric sockets, or wired into the house by an electrician, and also have two way microphone. They also have a very easy way to temporarily stop recording anything (for privacy). Your friend will need a smart phone (to view the action after setting up the service). Download the Ring app to the smart phone, plug the Ring device in, then hover the phone camera over the piece of paper from the Ring box, which will automatically activate the new Ring camera.
If your friend likes the Ring camera she can add more devices to the house as time goes on. We bought one Ring camera and aimed it at front door (luckily we have an outdoor electric plug near front door) due to a flurry of thievery in our neighborhood. We were so thrilled with having a pair of eyes outside our door (we could see when mail and packages had been delivered as well as the camera showed our parked car and we felt good that we could protect against the raft of catalytic convertors’ thefts, and so much more.) We bought more cameras and feel great about it, for example we live in coyote territory, they easily jump fences, and they’re sometimes prowling in our backyard. We have a camera inside, aimed out our back glass, and I now always check motion on the backyard camera before I physically go out back. Our cameras caught hail falling last week, it’s a once in a few year happening. As you can tell, we love our cameras and now feel more secure.
I am confident home cameras will help your friend (at least in the short term) care for her husband whilst not being forced to be in the room with him 24/7.
What a good neighbor you are to try to help the couple!
I used the Blink cameras when my husband was completely bedridden in our living room, and I had to run to the store or even just wanted to sit outside for a little while. It was nice for me to be able to check in on him any time I needed to. It worked great for overnight as well, as I didn't have to get out of bed to go check on him, I could just pull up the camera on my phone in the living room and check on him. They are fairly inexpensive, and work well. There are many others available as well. You can just have her "Google" security cameras, and let her take it from there.
