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.

The facility has a rule that if you complain YOU have to be the one that has to move. I dont want to move my mom, the room is good. I am hoping the facility will move the new person, I will keep carefully asking.
it took me going through my mom being discharged from a previous facility to learn that I dont want that to happen again. It was very hard to find another. Nursing homes have waiting lists to get in. So I try to be so careful about confrontations with management. It is hard but I am trying to be very polite.
I also have seen over the years how medicines dont always work as well as you hope on different people. They dont want to/arent allowed by law to drug people to the point where they are sleeping all the time.
the right to a normal noise level is ambiguous wording, and not enforceable. The difference between a private room is hundreds of dollars more a day!
i pray my mom will pass in her sleep one day and be free of all this.
bless us all!
Much depends on your approach.
If you go begging and pleading and crying to the admins you have a MUCH BETTER CHANCE, in all truth. If you say "Please, this is months now. I understand all your limitations in dealing with this and you have my DEEPEST sympathy, but it's so bad I pray my mom will pass to be protected. I understand you can only do what you can do, but please, please please"....................you will have a better chance than demands. Because I agree with you that the answer will be "You would be happier somewhere else" which we can translate to "Get the heck out of Dodge if you don't like it".
I DO sympathize with their limitations. I see you do as well.
And yes, like so many more you will come to sign hugely with relief when your mom is finished with what now is really a crucible to live through, not real life.
I am so sorry.
I think you always understood there's really no way out of this.
I would go a begging, myself. I would try that and know I had tried it all.
There isn't any fix here. I say over and over this is a very imperfect world with end of life care.
