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.

I've never contacted the VA for assistance prior to my father being registered, so I'm not sure what may be required, but I think at this point that's still probably the best avenue to pursue. The VA has probably addressed this kind of situation for others, and I'm sure would have procedures in place.
And there may be service related traumas affecting his confusion; the VA can identify these issues and determine appropriate courses of action.
Good luck, and thank you for being a caring person, especially for a Veteran.
I have a vague recollection of reading or hearing from one of my father's team that the VA could fast track some applications, especially someone of this gentleman's age.
I would not get anymore involved in what your job allows. You are enabling him. He needs to be placed for his safety.
If your are concerned about serious self neglect, report to Superviser & discuss reporting to APS.
If there is a medical emergency, report to EMS.
Stay within the scope of your role & summon more help for your client as needed. (It won't help him long term to blur your role).
Thank you for caring 😊❤️
Ask your direct manager to file if there is no mandated reporter.
The identity of who made the report is never disclosed to the client.
You can also file a report on your own.
APS deals with a lot of self neglect/exploitation like this sad situation.
APS can help cut through VA hurdles to get him assessed and get medical problems treated, APS can go to court to ask a judge to temporarily appoint someone as guardian of his property/money (often an attorney who works with adult protective services on these sorts of cases) to cut off access to his funds until the situation is clear.
Good luck.
Also, I think what @Kelkel was trying to say is that if you don't want to leave him to be stuffed in an often 1-star (almost disbarred) public Skilled Nursing Facility somewhere to get bedsores and neglect, you could make a HUGE difference (really life/death) by helping him locate a proper facility somewhere with memory care. The County social services people can help you locate places, sort how much money he has coming in and the places themselves can do the heavy lifting. They might pay you a commission (placement fee) too, leading to your new career as a placement consultant. It's really not that hard.
