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").

"I'm 23 and unable to save money due to her not wanting to take on financial responsibilities".
Have you been forced to take on the lion's share of bills? Otherwise the lights & heating goes off?
You have enough self-awareness to recognize that you are in an unhealthy relationship. Good! It's time you saved your money and made a plan to move out.
Work on saving 3-6 months worth of expenses i.e. rent, food, transportation, utilities, etc. Start looking around now for neighborhoods where you can afford a place of your own or a room to rent. A good location is your #1 priority. If you have some friends who have a spare bedroom, ask them if you can rent it until you find a place of your own.
Making the decision to leave a codependent relationship is the hardest part. Once you do, keep your decision quiet. You owe no one any explanations!
Leave. And leave her to her own devices.
She's ONLY 60??? That is NOT old, although from your perspective, at 23, I am sure she seems old.
Smoking is not a reason for not having a torn meniscus mended. Being overweight isn't either, so she's giving you a line of lies.
"She struggles financially due to spending habits"--yet YOU are shoring her up, financially, so she CAN continue to do whatever she wants. Do you not find that really ridiculous? You're working and sacrificing so SHE can lay around the house and smoke and eat.
Your mom could easily live another 30 years. And trust me, she is NOT going to change, not one iota unless you force her to. She has no need to!
Please, get out before this is any worse.
She's chosen to not participate in a healthy life, but that doesn't mean that you have to go down with her.
You and your sister have to quit enabling her if you're ever wanting to see any positive changes.
So step away(or run away)and get on with living and enjoying your life with your significant other.
