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.

Most of the time I skim through the headlines on my phone, to see if anything important happened, and that satisfy my curiosity.
They all brain wash you though. If they don't like one political person they will always put the ugliest pictures of them. And then the best pics of the one they do like.
This is one person. And to go off on a person like that, there has to be some mental thing going on. The aide could have walked out of the room. A picture is not always 1000 words.
Either that or they hired a criminal.
We have just been discussing such things on AC--how close to breaking we can be driven.
This is complete and utter breakdown if this isn't criminal behavior.
I agree it's good there were cameras. I am one of those who is more for cameras than not.
When I see how much more easily they can, in the UK, identify criminal behavior I believe that we as humans, while we may not like the invasion of privacy, NEED it at this point.
I know it is the old person's litany, and I am now very guilty of it, but I believe we are seeing societal breakdown.
I am not certain whether we are deteriorating or if it is just that, with media being what it is they are going to search out every aberration out there and put it up for our watching on CNN/MSN/FOX over and over and over and over again-- we are now WITNESSING WHAT ONCE WAS HIDDEN.
Did they give any followup on this?
We failed the mentally ill and their families and are now failing the elderly who need care and their families who either try to do the hands on caregiving themselves or try to advocate for their LO’s in care .
Government leaders having too much to say about medical issues , tying the hands of and silencing doctor’s recommendations etc . As well as greedy for profit care , cost conscious insurance companies and donut holes in the system , creating understaffing resulting in inadequate care . It’s no wonder healthcare workers snap , quit , and commit suicide .
Social media and the ways the news outlets report for ratings just makes it worse.
