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.

If you get ill and cannot go, is he able bodied to go to the door? Cook and drop off to him but don't visit. He can pass dirty dishes back to you the same way. If you wash his clothes, have him bag them and set outside when you get there. Wash your own hands before handling his clean clothes/wear gloves and put inside plastic bag. Some folks are using disinfectant sprays for all over interior of car, close door and let it dry - just in case you sneeze/cough in your car. Keep wipes with you to wipe down steering wheel, grocery buggy handles, gas pumps, etc.
They say it travels by droplets of fluid from coughing and sneezing, so if you can avoid that method of transfer it will be the best you can do.
Do things as preventatives to improve your immune systems too. Stay hydrated with plenty of water. Take extra vitamin C. Take vitamin D (or get in the sun if you're in a southern, sunny area). Take zinc. Get plenty of rest. Try not to stress out about this.
Good luck.
1 - wash your hands before eating, after eating, after using rest room, after touching a surface/object others touch.
2 - try to limit being in enclosed spaces with others by opening windows and using aerosol disinfectant when you must be "contained".
3 - clean high touch surfaces and objects frequently.... use a paper towel to touch knobs, handles...
4 - when you get home: shower, wash your hair, change clothes so anything "on you" is washed off
5 - social distancing - far enough so you and other person can not reach out to touch each other.
6 - if you do get COVID-19, try to stay quarantined in your bedroom as much as possible. When you must be in common areas, try to keep your mouth and nose covered.
Change your clothes before you go around him.
Wash your hands thoroughly the minute you arrive at his location.
Then, disinfect anything you have touched at his location right after.
THEN, start cleaning/disinfecting his location.
I have the same issue. We're all doing the best we can. It's a LOT of work, I know.
Wash hands after touching objects like door handles, elevator buttons, any object that others may have come in contact with. Use sanitizer if you can not wash.
Wash your hands after touching your face.
Wash hands when you get home then you and he should be relatively safe.
Re: food. Recent advice is that most coronaviruses do not pass in cooked food. Take out is still considered to be safe with the advice to avoid cold food like sandwiches and salads. Wash your hands after you handle the food containers and before you eat.
I leave my shoes at door then go wash hands immediately. You could keep hand gel near the door if you like.
If I've been to work (hospital) I now shower & change clothes too.
Limit visitors. But do keep up phone calls as getting lonely & feeling isolated is going to be a big problem for many.
