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.

I can't imagine how you will get through this without professional, compassionate support. Are you in contact with anyone who could offer you that?
You mention that you "hate her being in nursing home & I hate all the fights who what when where. If only I could make up my mind & stick to it. WHAT 2 DO I LUV HER SO MUCH IT HURTS"
I am so sorry that your Mother (and you) has been through much the past year. It is okay to grieve.
My therapist told me that I am grieving because I have lost the Mom that I knew and lived with the past 9 years (since 2008) within a week's time. On April 22, 2017 my Mom attended her grandson's wedding and was very social and talked with everyone and able to take care of herself (with my assistance). By May 2017, Mom was in the nursing home needing assistance with all cares related to Major Depression with Delusions and Dementia. She is now on the Memory Care Unit and uses a w/c (wheelchair) to get around. Some days she is very coherent and able to have a conversation and other days she has no idea who I am. {{SIGH}}
You also have lost the Mom that you knew and loved and it hurts. Grieve all that you want. Let God be your HOPE (Romans 15:13) and your COMFORT (II Corinthians 1:5) and Strength (Isaiah 41:10).
And all that I do is continual prayer for that person and then show them as much love as possible. I try and do things that make them smile or forget their struggle even if for a moment. We can only do so much as humans and it is such a torture on our hearts when those we love are suffering. But, we cannot fix them, only do what we can to make their lives as best as it can possibly be.
Prayer is an amazing gift we were given for such times as these.
