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.

italian- what did the dr say to u after u broke down bawling and pour ur heart out to the doc ? did he offer u antidepression meds ?

My mother passed in May 2010 and I also asked for God to end her suffering, and it happened (on my birthday, at 6am). I was sad, but also relieved! I knew her pain was over, I knew I did all I could for her, spend time with her, listened to her when she could still speak, and even sat with her hour on end, happily!
Her life was long (90), not always easy, but she was loved by all. Try not to concentrate on the one day when her life ended, but on all the amazing days she was alive.
Nonamecaregiver: what you are feeling is normal, lonely, sad, tired, frustrated, cut off from everything else that you know, and it is normal for us not to want to see our loved ones in pain,or suffering in anyway. So make their life (and yours) as pleasant as you, get help don't try to do it on your own, and don't forget to ASK for help. Most relatives will not just offer to help, you have to ask. And you should!
You have a wonderful group of supportive people here. Post, read, share and prepare yourself for what will come. You are not alone in your feelings. God bless you for all that you are doing. You won't regret anything you do with love.
