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.

Is there any inexpensive schools or inexpensive dentists near me. Where can i go to get inexpensive help. I don't have a lot of money because most of it goes for living expenses. I do have a few credit cards. And I have a bad leg and asthma.

Also know that most dental offices offer some type of financing for treatment that may make it easier to pay for care.
Right now you need a solution to an immediate problem and here are my suggestions:
1 - Talk first to your Mom's regular Dentist, ask about alternative treatment options and financing. Depending on the rest of your mother's oral health, one treatment option may be what is called a 'flipper'. It is a temporary removable denture that can replace a few front teeth. Not the best - but will work.
2- Talk to a different DDS if that doesn't work. Most Dentists will do some care at reduced fees for the poor on a case by case situation. Do you go to a different dentist?
3 - Contact you local Social Services agency. Many communities have volunteer clinics to help the poor - Social Services should have contact information for this.
4 - COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT. If your county has one it may only treat children, but it is worth checking out. Social Services should have this information as well.
5- DENTAL SCHOOL - if there is a school in your area, this may be an option. Be prepared for very long appointments and it may take many visits to get all the work completed. Your Mom will get excellent care for low cost. You will need to decide if she is able to tolerate this type of setting.
6 - DONATED DENTAL SERVICES. This is a National program of volunteer dentists who will treat needy patients. It is very limited and the patient must meet specific requirements. For more info: www.nfdh.org/donated-dental-services-dds Click on your State.
