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").

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.

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.

DO NOT stay there any longer. You can email/notify her kids that you are no longer there. Best of luck to you.
Sorry for being facetious but, running away from your demented aunt would be all I could even think of.
Knife? Threats? Okay, it’s time to get the hell out of there! At this point, it’s called survival and she can fend for herself.
I don't think the promise you made to your mother covers staying with a psychotic aunt who may indeed kill you.
As to promises made to mom, I doubt she would expect you to stay to be slain in your sleep, do you?
Give your Aunt a two week notice that you are leaving and then do so before you are evicted.
Being threatened with a knife would speed up my decision to get a move on!
I have had a gun pointed to my heart and I have never forgotten the feeling. It’s terrifying to be threatened.
Your aunt obviously is showing signs of dementia and not surprising after all those strokes and TIA's. She now needs more help than you can provide and for your own safety's sake you must leave her home, and let her children/husband worry about her care.
Surely you don't want to continue living there right?
i'm sure you're aware, you need to protect your safety...find a way to be financially independent...leave.
My question to you is: what is your definition of "right mind"?
People in their Right Minds don't threaten others with huge knives or to kill loved ones while they sleep.
Add lots of booze into the Loss of Right Mind scenario and, there you have it. Chaos and bedlam with a bit of insanity thrown in. Or dementia, or the aftermath of strokes and lots and lots of TIAs.
But you already know that, you'd have to.
Good luck to you.
LEAVE!!!
