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.

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.

Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

You do not need to mention names. Just say I took care of my GM, Nora Jones for 4yrs. Her children called APS on me alleging I stole from her. My GM was of sound mind till the day she passed. APS interviewed her and found their allegations were unsubstantiated. She passed on______. Her children continue to harrass me even though they received all her insurance money and me, just her small banking acct. Do not mention they did nothing for her, thats heresay. Nothing negative on your part. Make all your settings private, only friends can see your page. Not even friends of friends. Delete them as friends and block them. Block them on ur phone. If ur threatened, report it to the police. Get cameras around ur home. Restraining order if needed.
IGNORE comments on "Social" Media.
Do not respond to ANYTHING
they will soon get tired of slandering you if they are not getting the response they want.
There is a poster on this forum who says, “Never let a shark see you bleed!” I love that advice!
Your grandmother woke up and stopped giving them money and they became vindictive and jealous of you.
Keep a record of what they are posting. See if you can turn the tables on them about the slandering. I really don’t know if you can or not.
I don’t use FB but I am sure that this kind of thing goes on frequently. It’s crazy! Social media can be used to help in some cases and unfortunately it can also be used to harm others.
Online bullies are basically cowards. They wouldn’t dare say certain things to people’s faces. I don’t think you should take their threats seriously, as far as being able to follow through with any actions.
I doubt that your relatives will be able to provide any proof that you were stealing from your grandmother. You have already been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Wishing you all the best.
You Grandmother didn't make you POA for after her death. You were a POA while she lived, which means you acted in the manner she wanted you to.
You were with her for four years, helping her. I wonder what the kids think that would have cost?
Alas, what does it matter. As to accusations, let them accummulate. I know someone who won 100,000 dollars in a suit against someone who slandered him on Facebook. Let them know that. He sued a dog rescue woman in Austin TX who slandered him, and he WON. Actually it was settled by her insurance.
So you are free. If you were POD on that account then it is YOURS. You protected it and did as she asked why she lived, she made you POD and it is YOURS by any LEGAL (only one that matters) and moral right as well.
You know who these awful people are. STAY AWAY FROM THEM and get on with your life, and know your grandma treasured you.
PS copy and save anything these people say that can be substantiated, and ask people if they would be willing to sign an affidavit as to what they are saying about you. SCARE THEM good.
If your grandmother left a Will then whatever her estate is made up of will be divided according to it.
If I were you, I'd talk to the police and petition the court for a restraining order.
