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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
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
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
You do not go into the behavior that is necessitating the move. I am wondering if medication for anxiety as well as some other behaviors might help. Depending on the behavior problem she has it may continue in MC.
I would recommend, if there are assets, you consider (given the short amount of time you have) that you consider the services of an organization such as APlaceForMom. I mention them not necessarily as the "best " but as the best-know company providing this service. There are others who do this work, and in fact years ago my brother used one in Palm Springs to find placement for his ex partner.
The first question will be, again sadly, about assets. Most memory care places are private pay. You will be asked about your mother's needs, and about her assets. The cost of this service is paid by the facilities, so you can look upon it as their shopping for patient/clients if you wish, but it DOES provide a service to you.
You don't give us details about your mom's needs but some ALFs have "locked cottages" which can be a sort of intermediate facility between ALF and MC. They are rare, but becoming a bit more common as our populace ages.
I so wish you good luck. Opinions vary about the businesses whose business it is to help you seek out living situations for your elders. My experience has been postive. If you use one do come and share your own personal opinion with those on Forum.
I am so sorry this is happening for you and your Mom and wish you both such good luck.
I just wanted to say that I am sorry about your situation.
My mom had Parkinson’s disease and developed dementia. It’s very difficult to see a parent’s behavior change before our eyes.
I’m sure that it is heartbreaking for you to have to move your mom to a new place.
There are many posters that have had to transfer their parents to a memory care facility. Stick around to hear responses to your concerns.
Wishing you peace as you move forward with your caregiving journey.
