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. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our

Wish you the best.
If you have an address, send a note. "Hope all is well with you. I felt the need to write this note to tell you Mom now has Dementia and at this moment is waiting for a brain scan. If you would like to contact me, my phone # is ..."
If u have no address, then try text or email if you have it. If brother does not respond, then you have your answer. He is not interested or you have no updated info on him and that is not your fault.
My brother has not contacted me since Sept 2017. I have texted him and the last two years no response. His two girls, in their mid 20s, have not kept in touch. One is a teacher in my Township. She will be married (got a please save the date) in June. We will not be attending because we will be on a Cruise a year and a half in the making. Lots of money involved. I will send a nice card with a check.
Yes, I agree with Pamhen contact whoever you think needs to know, brother, and he's an adult let him do with it what he wants. Relay the info and let them claim ownership of it. You are not responsible for how other people respond.
For some reason in life, it's not even Steven...you jus have to play the cards you're dealt with. This goes on in every family. It would be nice if he showed up to give you some support.
Amen...
I think your brother should be told, if only to give him a choice. Who knows, he may become an unexpected source of support for you at a difficult time.
My brother and I are far from reconciled; too much water under the bridge, but I think there is a peace and acceptance there, which there wasn’t before between us. And we had a few laughs at memories during the process. I know this may be different for you, but we never know. All we can give is an opportunity. Good luck in this challenging part of your life. You are doing a magnificent job!
that way if he ever accuses you of shutting him out you have proof of contact.
