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").

If so, I have a suggestion for you, go and rent a mail box like at a large parcel & shipping type of store. UPS has freestanding ones. But if there is a university or college in your town there will be one nearby campus as well. Whichever it is, you rent the box as you need to present an ID to do this and it becomes the new address for everything mom, and you make it a point to go by regularly and deal with her bills and finances.
So she see docs that use My Chart? We have that and if a health system is using it, you flat almost have to do stuff online to schedule and see test results, contact a provider, pay a bill, etc. So that alone is justification to do a Gmail address for her and get an my chart account going for her. Then when she has her next appointment, be sure to get her to do the HIPPA sign off for you. The staff at a practice with lots of elderly know how to get this done with…. ahem…. recalcitrant elders.
out of curiosity, how well can she do her ADLs? If she refused rehab after hip surgery, is she able to walk, transition from bed to stand, on & off toilet, in & out shower? How big of a fall risk is she?
Having hallucinations, placing multiple false reports to the police all those show she is not able to do “executive functioning”. How do you know that she for sure “handles her financials affairs very well”? One good part on getting her address changed is that you will be able to see in detail what she’s doing with credit cards, if her property insurance,
taxes are getting paid, what type of withdrawals she’s doing from her checking account. There could be things amiss that are subterranean.
Make everything as easy as you can for yourself.
As far as setting up contacts with her providers you can do that yourself you set up the account, you set up the password and you can send and get emails. The computer does not know you are not your mom.
It would be immensely helpful if you are listed as a person that can get and give info on her HIPAA forms. This would be particularly helpful when you are in the doctors office in person or if you ever have to take her to the hospital, or she is brought to the hospital.
