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.

Unless you're brand new to KP, this is how they operate and always have. You use KP facilities according to KP rules. I'd pick one of the 3 facilities offered and know that KP isn't likely to send your loved one somewhere where they won't get PT and OT.....because they'll wind up BACK in the hospital with KP footing another bill. Their goal is to get the patient cured or rehabbed properly so they're LESS of a financial burden to KP.
If your Aunt can afford an ALF or MC facility then you can assist in choosing one to your liking. However, if this is insurance covered in any way, say a rehab or SNF, then Kaiser is in charge of choosing what facilities they use in this area.
Hospitalization for someone not requiring acute care hospitalization will not fly; an appeal to have her stay in hospital will not work. Kaiser system has excellent Social Workers. I would contact and ask for social worker involved here IF you are POA for your loved one.
A family friend who was run over by a truck had to go to a facility 2 hours away from his wife and home because of the extensive damage to his legs. This is in FL, "Heaven's Waiting Room"... so, lots of demand plus a shortage of medical workers plus he needed a certain type of care that may not have been available locally.
If you're willing to travel farther you may have more options? Or, does she need a special type of care?
I chose the place where my mother did rehab and she received excellent care from the staff. There was one incident. No place is going to be perfect. They handled the situation properly so I was satisfied with the overall care that my mom received.
If there are only these three places that are available to you. I am not sure if you can do anything about it.
