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.

Finally, we epoxied that button so that now it can't be pressed. She hasn't deprogrammed it since.
we ended up using the flipper big button (having tried several) this worked quite well. It only has channel , volume, and power.
we didn’t happen to have a cable box, this was over the air TV to keep it simple, but as I understand it, it can turn on both cable box and TV with “power” and what device the “channel “ button controls is set by you. So it should work for a cable box plus TV set up.
there is access to the configuration panel under a slide out cover, so he could get at the configuration buttons, but you need to enter a four digit unlock code for any of the configuration buttons to do anything so it’s pretty safe from being messed up. These buttons control what remote it is “simulating “– TV model, etc.
The one thing we learned the hard way was this: modern TVs are made to be complicated. When you first turn them on, they often go to some kind of menu screen from which you can select 1 million options and apps, plus advertisements, which aren’t appropriate here. And the flipper remote can’t control anyway with its limited buttons.
Solution: We did find that the TV itself had a setting where you can have it automatically start on the last input it was on before it was turned off, instead of starting on the main menu. Then, once we had it set to TV input (using the real factory remote, then hidden away carefully) it could never be changed off TV. It would always come on that way each time.
Now a days, it takes two remotes and a sequence of different buttons. Gone are the days of Madge calling saying "quick, turn on the TV". Half the time when we push the buttons to change channel, the software messes it up or it is human error.
I can't imagine what TV on/off/channels will be 20 years from now, when all of us are much older. Not all of us have a 12 year old grandchild or neighbor's child to help us out :P
1. Please provide more information about the plain on/off, channel up/down, volume up/down that you found helpful.
2. Also, I would like to be armed with the brand of the universal big remote that was not helpful for your daddy; I would know to avoid that item.
Totally correct is one comment when someone said, "Modern TVs are made to be complicated." Even with "clear as a bell mind," I have difficulties with the new modern remotes. I would appreciate hearing more from you, Ohwow323.
Or you could get colored sharpies, or finger nail polish on the buttons with a color coated list on paper
Like blue for on, and on the paper color 🔵 next to the on word.
Red ♥️ for off. .
