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.

I also went to the local police. They told me to disable my parent's car. We thought we did, only to find out it backfired. And my Mom was driving with a suspended lisence, and Dad when he shouldn't have been. I also took the keys away, thinking that would thwart their efforts. Warning: they can be real clever, and get new keys made, etc. I also had to deal with the anger, and fear (living 200 miles away).
It literally took several months before the Secretary of State acted. They sent a letter to my folks, asking them to appear for a driving test. If they don't appear, it's an automatic loss of license. Since Dad's doctor wrote that he didn't think Dad was capable of driving, they clipped the corner on his right away. Mom didn't show up for her test, and we just drove her car away. Boy, were they both angry!!! By then, I was Guardian, and knew I had acted in the best interest of all concerned. It was not easy, but had to be done. I've since sold both vehicles. Due to that, and their failing health, neither will ever drive again.
Best,
Jackie
Some of us have children just now driving. I understand he doesn't want to lose his freedom, but I doubt he'd want anyone to lose their child either.
Flexability is important. I am sure you have already told him this, and he doesn't think HE will ever cause an accident or death. None of us PLAN to do that. He isn't either.
Try to explain to him that there are a bunch of crazy drivers out there, he needs some really quick reflexes to dodge them.
And then...take away his keys. Disable the car. drain the fuel. cut the fan belt. remove a hose, let the air out of his tires. lock the steering wheel...
Save a life.
Good luck. My mom's neurologist is doing the deed soon, and no one but me believes that her doctor will really take her license away. Then we must disable the car, because she won't care (or remember) if she can legally drive or not.
We are adults too. Even if our parent's refuse to ever acknowledge it. Do what you know you need to do.
