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.

Sadly you got into a verbal battle with someone that didn't appreciate what was said and I am thinking lines were crossed. It is hard when you live somewhere to realize that it is not your home and you aren't free to speak your mind.
If I was you, I would be finding a place that I could spend some time getting my situation sorted out. Because you could very well be set to the curb in 3 days and spending time you don't have to fight a battle you may or may not win is not a good idea.
Check out women's shelters, Homeless shelters, salvation army those types of places.
I doubt they would stop you from eating but I wouldn't expect an invitation to join the family around the table for dinner. Neither would I set myself down uninvited, you don't want to provoke more upset.
Have you tried apologizing and asking forgiveness? Doesn't matter if you were wrong or right, you need their mercy to not be put out on your ear in 3 days.
I hope you can find a place to help you transition from the current situation and that you are allowed a fair amount of time.
Only you know what happened and at this point you are not wanted, please do not try to force them to allow you to stay indefinitely, it will be miserable for all of you. That is unless things can be reconciled.
Could you explain a bit more about what has happened?
Who are you caring for?
Who are you living with? - just your caree, or that person's family too?
What was the nature of the disagreement? - what was it about, and how heated did it get? When was this?
Whatever happens, it is best to assume that nobody wants anybody to come to any harm; and to agree either a reconciliation, if that is what you want and it's possible, or an orderly transition to a new location.
It does not sound promising that you are in doubt as to whether you can eat or not. Is this because of something someone else has said, or do you just not like to ask?
No Strings or Things in Keeping you there, No Contract, Begin to Pack.
I am so sorry.
I'm not sure about the food situation...I would probably just start buying your own, so it's not further uncomfortable...
Perhaps you can be straight-forward and simply tell them you 'regret the argument' and 'can we simply talk it through and work it out?'.
'I enjoy staying here and working...I'm committed to this position, etc'.
That's if you really feel to stay...
All the best to you!!
Eviction, if that is your home, also according to state law. It would most likely require a thirty day notice which would have to be legally served on you.
Also talk with enough employment lawyer.
Just curious, who are you caring for? With your health problems do you do anything heavy, bathe, dress? Or are you more of a home health aide. There to keep an eye on things. Cook meals, clean up, etc.
I would also get to ur local Social Service office and ask for temporary help. They may be able to get u temporary housing and food vouchers. Then work on permanent housing.
They must pay you a living wage and you needed to have time off, no one works 24/7/365 with no time off.
An eviction can take months. But personally I would not want to live in a house where are these problems but I read about it and see stories on the news.
I suggest you contact department of labor, possibly your local senior center where there are social workers that might help you. You could also contact the Bar Association to determine if you have a legal case.
Even if they can not help you with what might be your illegal working conditions they might direct you to senior housing.
Call me crazy sounds like “room and board” verbal may not be enough to protect, a 30 day notice may not be required.
