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

Maybe call the health department about your parent's inability to get transportation. Sometimes they either know how to make arrangements or can tell you how to get services. In my town there is a senior citizens center. They have a lot of information about how to get elder care... Hope this helps!
Give yourself a hug - you are doing the right things - and while it may seem extremely tough right now - once you finish your schooling things will get better!
If you can stand it, and feel your Mom is receiving good care in her rehab facility, maybe cut back your number of visits to see her to twice weekly, or ask someone else in your family to do the honors of more frequent visits to your Mom while she is in rehab?
Not sure I understand what you are saying about being harassed in some way regarding some tickets.
I admire anyone who, like you, is trying to continue your education in order to do better in your life, and, as someone else said, that is a hard thing to do. I agree that eventually it does pay off and get better for those who persevere.
Hope you can find another job soon, even part-time until you can find a full-time position. It's great that you're sharing. That sometimes helps alleviate some of the stress one feels.
Any senior ride program in your area? They take seniors to medical appointments if booked in advance. The waiting times can be long for pick-up, but it is worth knowing that your Dad can make it to his doctor's appointment. If nothing else, and your Dad is able to afford it, taking a cab to the appointment is a last resort. Before that, I would ask a friend if they would be willing to give Dad and you a ride to the doctor's office.
Good luck!
( both at the same time ) and it definitely isn't easy ! If you don't have a relationship with the Lord this would be a good time to start one .He'll put people in your path to help you that you wouldn't even think to ask of.
God bless
