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.

I have been helped both by the posters who agree with me AND probably even more by the ones with a contrasting viewpoint - I believe you should always try to see it from the other point of view, because that way you always learn something.
Country Mouse so there really is a village idiot. Up by the Welsh border is that where they hide. Goodness me we certainly learn something new every day about other posters. Hugs to you both, I know you can't help it. Gin and tonic for you CM?
Well I hope she/he feels better soon. I'll be glad to share my SNRI's.
This just proves that caregiving can be a black hole sometimes. wow.
no wonder I don't venture far.... when did life and death turn into a pissing contest
Caregivers have little or no protections in regards to the law, whereas elders often suffering from dementia/delusions are now protected greatly at the expense of the caregivers.
When the laws to protect the elderly were enacted the intent was admirable but now the pendulum has swung drastically the other way and well intentioned caregivers are being crucified for doing right by our parents.
Those of us who have not been under attack do not or will not understand the betrayal and injustice some of us have suffered.
I have recently changed my mother's residence and have seen a 180^ change in her demeanor and attitude without any medication changes. She is being nice to me for the first time in 16 years. I offer this as proof of what I have stated in regards to undue influence from psychologically poisoned environments. Corporate greed is real and we should all be aware of it.
I do not know how to better explain this in hopes of enlightenment.
I suppose if you can't stay on topic, talk about booze. Are you liquored up now, because your responses become more and more about BS, just rattling. Sad.
Often the worst cases of dementia are people who have Borderline Personality Disorder. As family members usually say, they have always been like this, theya re just worse now.
