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.

If you have to regularly get the rugs and furniture cleaned because of the dogs, that's a cost.
If you clean up outside after her dogs, you have a right to charge for that kind of clean up too.
Housekeeping and pet care services are not free no matter where a person lives. Start charging grandma a monthly fee for housekeeping services.
Mother uses her walker as a battering ram and slams into doors to open them. Every door in her pathway is ruined. It used to be that we could paint them every other month and that helped--but now it's just above fixing.
The carpets and fabric furniture has been totally saturated with urine, and at some point, you simply cannot get that smell out. When she passes, her recliner and sofa will be thrown away.
Somehow she has broken all 3 faucets in her place. I don't know HOW. Like, broken from their moorings. They all leak now, and brother cannot get her to leave the apartment long enough to fix them. She is hanging over him the entire time he tries to fix things.
When she passes, he plans to gut the apartment completely, and remodel it to be a master suite for himself and his wife. Probably will need to replace the sub-floor--again--- urine spills for the last 5 years have been constant. She's now becoming bowel incontinent and has overflowed her diaper a few times.
How can you possibility put a price tag on the total destruction of a small apartment? And what would be the point? Mother doesn't pay rent, she pays the cable bill (about $200 a month) and this is her total contribution to the household. All 4 of us sibs are planning to refuse our small inheritances and give them to YB so he can have SOME measure of being made whole. We cannot give him back 25 years of unpaid care, but we can help a little.
