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
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
I think some of these places are getting wise but if a prepaid envelope is enclosed, then put the info you received in that envelope. There usually is a piece of paper with your name and address on it. If so, circle your name and write to take your name and any name associated with that address off their mailing list. If ur address is only on the envelope then cut the front off showing your address and do what I wrote. This should be the first piece of paper they see. If I couldn't do it this way, I went on their website and requested by email that you want no more mailings. None of this, even Data and Marketing, will happen overnight. Returning what is considered junk mail to the PO will not work. The PO will not return junk mail to the sender. First class you can write "return to sender".
Signing up for things like Publishers Clearing house will start junk mail coming. Buying a magazine subscription and entering contests for trips or a new car will start the junk mail coming. I stopped all of this long ago. I get very little junk mail. The worst one is telling me my warranty on my car has expired. My Moms been gone 3 yrs and hadn't driven for 4, car sold. But I recently received a warranty letter for her.
How do I remove my name from mailing lists?
Anyone who wants to reduce the amount of marketing mail they receive may write to the Direct Marketing Association Preference Service, which is independent of the United States Postal Service, and let them know they do not want to receive marketing mail. In addition, the three major credit-reporting services (Equifax, Experian & TransUnion) also offer a name removal option:
To “Remove” your name from common mailing lists, you may send your written request, along with a processing fee, to:
DMAchoice
DATA & MARKETING ASSOCIATION
POST OFFICE BOX 643
CARMEL NY 10512-0643
There is a processing fee for both online registration and mail-in registration. Please visit the DMAchoice website https://dmachoice.thedma.org/ for complete information. For further Mail Preference Service information please visit https://thedma.org/.
Or you can go online and have their mail go to your house or a PO Box so you can intercept it.
If it were me, I would call the soliciting agencies and tell them the person they're sending the offers to has no money and medical issues, and will likely die with no estate, so if they give them money, good luck getting it paid back. And don't co-sign anything.
