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.

How does the Forum work with Facebook, please?
Unfollow Share: [HERE IT IS!]
Hover your cursor over the word SHARE.
There are icons that appear: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Email, and Print.
Sorry, but that really does not answer your question, but may give you more information.
That's all I know, except you can search fb for AgingCare.com, and that is where, to my dismay, I have seen many of our posts, whether we have shared them or not! Grrrrr.
I'm kind of confused about your inability to access the forum as you usually would, if you are on line and can get to Facebook can't you get here too?
If they weren't, the feeling of anonymity that is crucial to open, honest discussion would end.
I posted something on FB that I thought was a closed group. And it WAS, however, someone read my post and reposted it to their page and ANSWERED IT..it was a very delicate family situation and long story short, my son read some things he was not to know. Now he does and he got it from someone breaking the 'closed group' rules.
I guess it's always a good reminder not to post personal issues when you don't KNOW who's reading them.
There are some groups that are public that I would post in, except that I know that anything I post my friends would be able to read. That really really turns me off. This includes groups like The Compassionate Friends, which is for people who have lost a child. They also have some Closed FB groups, though.
Is it hard to use this Forum and Facebook both? I don't find it so, but in times of Covid-19, with so much else cut out, there is really only Social Media, reading, crafts, gardening, whatever else we can dream up to keep from going loopy.
If there is a way to access Forum from FB and anyone knows about that, I will continue following this thread to find out.
