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.

You tell them that you are in charge and complaints should be brought to YOU and that if harassment of the facility continues then the visits will be STOPPED and you simply will not allow this to continue.
Sorry. There's no way around this but honesty. Either this person can control himself or he cannot. And if he cannot then he cannot continue to visit. You might inform him that perfection doesn't exist in elder care, but making a person trapped there the enemy because his family is hated is a very poor way to aim at perfection.
Best of luck
whether or not you are / have been about to be tough with family, this is a time to be tough. Let him know that if he has any concerns, he has to tell them to you. He is not allowed to directly address the nurses and staff. That is how it is.
This is the type of scenario where taking a hard line by you is needed
It really is as simple as that.
You and your husband deserve to be around people that will be encouraging to you both and not ones that are adding more stress to an already stressful situation.
Best wishes in using your voice to advocate for your husband.
My daughter had a resident who's sister visited every day, both elserly. The sister was not on the HIPAA forms but since she was only family who visited my daughter gave her info. This was a NH. Then one day the sister went beserk screaming about all the bandaids on her sister's hands. Daughter tried to tell her they were covering skin tears not the staff was abusing the resident. To quiet the sister down she had to tell her she was not going to give her anymore info if she did not settle down.p because she actually was not suppose to because she was not on the HIPAA forms.
Add a note each time you drop something off, telling them how much you appreciate their work, and their kind, compassionate care they take with your husband.
You could also include a few words apologizing for your critical family members. These might go a long way.
