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.

I feel for you. It is not always easy to adapt emotionally when your mom is aging and seems to be changing. I assume that you mean at least in part, more independant, less needy.
You are very fortunate that you have had a good relationship with her, and now, have a new husband who also cares for her. One thing about relationships and families that is certain, they continue to grow, and change and we adapt to our partners, our kids, our parents, our extended families and blended friends or the alternative is that we can fall into being unhappy with inevidable changes.
There is hope, our parents don't get older in a vacumn, we change, and grow and get older too right along side them - and hopefully wiser in the process.
If your mom is less independant and more needy at a time that you wish she wasn't, the wishing won't change anything but it will affect your mood & way of relatiingm not only to her, but everyone. The dynamic in your home has changed, you have changed, and so is your mom. Try gentlely to keep a balance between your mom's missing the old you, especially as she ages and the newly married you. Remembering nd keeping in perspective that good relationship issues like forgetting pills and wanting to be included shouldn't sour your family life.
I have taken care of my mom for 7 years now - what I have learned and relearned is that the same lessons we learned as early about relationships, still hold true. Cherish the old while keeping the new. Keep smiling, don't let yourself fall into the trap of anger or resentment and you will have everyone around you smiling too. Not always easy, but ultimately negative thoughts and self-talk can become a vicicious circle. Look on the bright side. If its mostly good, you can always find solutions.
