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.

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").

Have you thought about finding alternate care for her, so you can work on your own life? Around the clock care with no outside help, really isn't feasible. I'd explore options for her care. There are always options.
You were neglected and abused by someone you now have become tied to--and can't get away.
BUT--there must be somewhere you can place mom and still feel good about yourself and your relationship (bless you for attempting to create a life for her, when she clearly messed you up!) start looking for a place for her to live from now on.
Even with dementia, the memories of what was--still remain and now you have no chance of closure with her. She says something nasty and even tho your 'thinking brain' says "that's the dementia", sadly, whatever mean things she says are still said and still hurt.
Bowel incontinence would be the end of my capability to care for someone in my home. You don't have to apologize for not keeping her in your home.
Actually, in a NH she would get better care--not that you aren't doing your best, but no doubt you are exhausted 24/7.
Good luck, and feel free to come back and vent any time. You are not alone in this.
It's sad that some of us no matter our age, still seek the approval from our parents that we never received growing up. We often just have to accept that it will never happen, and we have to be able to make peace with that.
Life is too short, and you MUST take care of yourself. You have a lot of living yet to do. Best wishes.
