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

I wish you success in your endeavors, especially in the next stage of your life.
Best wishes!
A friend has been lending me her and her 10 yrs old son's space. It is embarrassing as you can imagine having her deal with this mess when she offered her home, warmth, AND food, and they have to hear screaming at night on top of it too.
My cousin was literally dumped by another family member. I have no ties to him except we're related. I'd have to research with the immigrations laws here in CO too. The embassy in Dallas has been SO slow in their responses. Thank you. again for the words.
When you leave, report to the Social Worker involved (notify her now of your intention to leave by ____ date). If Social Worker is not responsive notify Adult Protective Services in your area of an "adult at risk" and notify the next of kin that you are gone.
The documented status is immaterial here and doesn't need to be mentioned to anyone you speak to.
The Social Workers and Adult Protective will contact other family members. If they do not respond then Social Services will allow the State to take temporary guardianship for placement.
This person has FOUR MORE DECADES of life; will you give up your own life in care of him? Because IF you will, then your family will allow that to happen. The mistake was in moving in. The only answer, it seems to me, is moving out. I am very sad for this person, laid so low in another country, by a stroke. But Social Services is already involved. If you step away they will do their job in assuring there is care.
Since you've lost your home, where are you living? Who owns the property at which you're staying?
There's another way beyond what lkdrymom suggests: call INS, inform them an illegal alien has been dumped on you and you can't, or do you want to be involved. I don't know the immigration laws well enough to know if harboring an illegal alien would put you in a position to be charged with a crime, but I wouldn't wait to find out.
And since you've lost your home, consider moving to another area to get away from the family and start your own life.
