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.

lealonnie, I know, right??? I am waiting to see what they end up doing next door. Will one of the sons move back home and be a caretaker for both??? Will the sons look for a facility for both of them??? Or will all 3 sons be in denial and think Mom is fine to watch both herself and her husband and the sons will carry on with their own lives as if nothing ever happened. The one son is over there now. I feel like running over there and telling him NOT TO MOVE IN WITH THEM!! Don't make that an option!!! But I know, it's none of my business. At least this time, I don't have to take care of it.
It’s frightening to think of an elderly person roaming around like that. Glad she wasn’t hurt in any way and that your husband got her help. I hope she is okay. Maybe it was a UTI.
Must have been scary for everyone, especially your son suddenly hearing a knock at his window. Your husband did the right thing by calling 911.
So upsetting for the poor woman and her husband.
I had a crazy neighbor once who would weed the cracks out in the middle of the street? Who does that???
This was years ago. I freaked out when I was coming home from work and saw this old woman in the middle of the street pulling up weeds from the street! She loved gardening and had a beautiful garden but talk about crazy or compulsively OCD with weeds! I begged her to stay away from the street. I rang her bell for her husband to tend to her.
Reminiscing about that neighborhood now. Was years ago. I don’t live in that neighborhood now. Another neighbor was constantly borrowing things. Once she borrowed my vacuum and was missing an earring. She actually asked me to go through the bag of dust to find her earring. Hahaha 😂 I handed her the bag and told her that SHE was welcome to look for it. I am severely allergic to dust.
This couple, despite what the hospital said, is not “fine”. This was an unsafe discharge. If it were me. I would go to the Fire Chief and ask if there is anything he can do. He is a “mandated reporter”, and he is obligated to report a situation like this to Adult Protective Services. There are so many things that could go wrong in this situation; Fires, falls, one of them wandering off and not being found...
