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.

What does the Attorney suggest as the reason that the "Estate" will not pay for his care? What does the Attorney suggest be done with Dad; do they want him to be put into care?
Generally it is the POA who decides what care and where given if Dad cannot act in his own behalf. I am not understanding this "division" between decider on Dad's care and decider on whether or not the Estate will pay for it.
Anyway, there is a place called Lakeshore Legal Services throughout Michigan. They do quite a bit of pro bono elder law, consultations and you can should give them a call.
You do not need quotes for a nurse. Medicare will pay for 8 weeks. And do not get POA, then your screwed here.
Michigan is different.
I think that you should see an elder law attorney. There is too much here unknown if you are planning to take on the care of two elders who will get more and more ill, while you have children and jobs. Please do see a Lawyer. I think those of us here have just ended up in a pile of confusion over exactly what is happening here, and exactly what assets there are, and exactly who is in charge of them. Along with Cali I am extremely worried for your children. When you move in this manner to make huge moves like moving elders in it is very very difficult to undo. At the very least you need a plan of care, who cares for whom and how much they are paid; these contracts need to be in black and white and they need to have meticulous record keeping ongoing.
I wish you luck.
What is going to happen when eventually your MIL needs hands-on care too... are you intending to take her in as well? Please think this through very carefully.
