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.

SO...if you are among the better educated who appreciate how easy this infection spreads, if you know someone who's been infected (I do, my young niece,) and know how serious the infection is, how it can reduce your lung function and damage your organs permanently (anyone for dialysis?), you know that you must protect yourself as you have been doing. And avoiding going out as much as you can. For several more months in all likelihood. And don't spend your discretionary consumer dollars with businesses that don't think they have an obligation to help lower the curve by taking reasonable precautions. Spending money with businesses like that is rewarding their irresponsibility.
Good luck all. NY appears to be starting to flatten the exponential level of infection.
Laboring, asymptomatic women in NYC are being tested at admission; at one reporting hospital, 14% are COVID positive. A friend at another hospital tells me their rate is 27%.
That's the rate of infection among folks with no symptoms. I'm not pressing anyone to open ANYTHING. We are still in very dangerous territory.
i hope everyone is safe and we will come out of this pandemic better and stronger as a nation. Blessings to all..,Liz
I am glad that threats are taken seriously. They need to be.
Returning blessings to you. 💗
I am from the UK. Our prime minister was extremely ill and in hospital with the virus but he turned the corner after being in the icu. His attitude is very sober now as he is about to be a father. We are in lockdown now and it will last a while. I hope all of you in the States stay well with your loved ones
It’s difficult to be on lockdown. I am sorry. Safety must come first. Please keep us posted on your situation.
Seeing a single person drive with a mask is kind of funny. My husband doesn’t put his mask on while driving by himself. He puts it on just before he opens his door.
Do you all have enough masks at your hospital? I hope you do. Stay safe, Pam.
But honestly, the CDC can't seem to say for sure if masks will prevent you from spreading it if you're contagious. And now I wonder how many confirmed people with it are breaking quarantine, figuring "well, since everyone is wearing masks, it's safe for me to go out." And if the wolf is at the door financially, I can see that thinking becoming even more prevalent, if the choice is illness or starvation/homelessness.
Not an easy situation any way you look at it.
Stay home: no job, no money, then homelessness and starvation, 100% sure
or
Go to work with protections: less than 1% chance of getting sick, and if sick, 98% chance recovery. Those "essential" workers are making this very choice.
Why can't everyone else? Why?
I get a terrible headache every time I think of my future (bleak).
