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.

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.

Facility to facility transfers are the most easily accomplished. Is rehab helping with finding a LTC facility for dad?
You say you and the other brother are helping but then in the next paragraph it is clear that brother is the one doing most of the overnights since the middle of February, plus he works a job and is elderly himself.
What would happen if brother died tomorrow? How would you and other sibling take care of mom? I can bet mom would be moved faster into a SNF if this happened, so get it done now. I don't think your brother can handle another few weeks of this or longer.
If you are waiting on mom to be approved for medicaid before finding a skilled nursing facility for her you don't need to. Many facilities have medicaid pending and will accept a person before all the paper work is officially approved and done.
Does he have a spouse and family? If so, they are suffering and he is struggling to keep them the priority. Do you and your other brother have spouses and families? If so, they are your priorities, not your parents. This is what they saved their money for, to pay for their care and NOT to burn out their children. And none of you should be paying for any of their care out of your own pockets.
I wish you well in getting your parents into a facility. You've all done yeoman's work -- bless you for doing so.
You and siblings are doing the best anyone could, but this has to end before one or all of you have strokes. Then what?
Hurry and file that application for dad. Be the squeaky wheel that gets attention from wherever you've filed. Don't just wait. Call every day. Send emails, visit their office, whatever you have to do to expedite the matter.
Also, maybe you shouldn't be the referee. How'd you get that job? Why do you do it? Your time could be better spent finding more helpers and hiring them.
I hope you get this concluded soon and can go back to normal life.
