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.

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.

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.

You say she lives alone so Caregivers could be hired and they could use the Sit To Stand or if she is able a caregiver maybe all she needs to help her get in and out of bed, on and off the toilet and the caregiver could help with daily tasks as she gets her strength back in the arm.
A Sit To Stand is a pretty easy to use piece of equipment and can be operated by 1 person.
I am so sorry that your family is going through this challenging time.
Did they give you a reason as to why your appeal was denied?
Are you saying that they want to stop rehab and try home health services?
Have you had a meeting with the social worker, PT and OT to know exactly what is going on?
I know that you live out of town which makes this even more difficult. Still, they can set up a meeting online with you.
I am sure that you are fully aware that your mom cannot go back home alone.
She will need 24 hour supervision at home or else she will have to move into a skilled nursing facility for long term care.
What a shame that you aren’t able to resolve this issue easily. It seems like it shouldn’t be as difficult as it is to get help for your mom.
Wishing you all the best.
But you need to realize they are good till they aren't. At 96 breaking her arm and not moving for 12 days is serious. She may never get her full strength back. If anesthesia was used to set her arm, that could effect her cognitively. Just spending time in strange places could effect her. Some suffer from delirium.
