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.

It stinks, but it is why every employee or volunteer that works with vulnerable people are mandatory reporters.
Please do the right thing and call. You can do it anonymously.
(For instance a daughter requested $1200 out of her father's account to pay for a life ins policy she just bought for him. Why are you buying a policy for a 89 yr old person in a nursing home? If or when the person passes away the policy will not pay out anything. Or, the son who needs $800 to pay taxes for his mother - his mom is 98 and did not file any taxes)
This kind of stuff is what upsets me.
A lot of the residents have one of their children or a family member as POA and they are taking the money for themselves and not buying anything for the resident. My concern is why are they taking the money from their parents. That money is suppose to go towards the personal needs or whatever the resident wants; it should not be taken by their family members.
Maybe I should just mind my own business but it really upsets me when the residents wants to purchase something for themselves but they can't because one of the children/family members has taken all of their money.
Yeah, it sucks that people can be such dirt bags.
Why would a NH be involved with a stimulus check. The stimulus is going to either be direct deposited to the acct that the POA has given the tax preparer or you get a check which should probably be deposited to the same acct where the spend down money is if on Medicaid. Even if NH is payee, that money never hits the residents personal accts. The NH gets the SS directly and I would assume put it into an acct they have set up for Medicaid residents. If privately paid, thats POAs responsibility to make sure NH gets paid. NHs are not involved in a residents private accts.
