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

Circumstances are different, but the suggestions as to departure and doing it gracefully would still apply.
Assuming that you didn't sign a contract, and also assuming that you're an "at will" employee and that your services could also be terminated by your employer, you don't have to give a reason. However, it's considerate that you want to leave on good terms.
You could write something to the effect that you've accepted a different position; you're going back to school for training, you're changing careers...anything that doesn't need to be verified and could be validated.
Politicians under fire or who have committed crimes find a multitude of vague excuses to cover their departures. You could look to them for creative reasons.
If you signed a contract, that's a different situation. Termination of employment should be specified in the contract.
If you're on good terms with the family, just be alert to their concern and gratitude, and desire to wish you well....which could include asking about your next position or future plans. Maybe some time off to reassess your situation would cover a multitude of plans, and avoid the discussion of the woman's hostile behavior.
The last sentence can be that you've appreciated the opportunity to work with the lady and her family and you wish them the best.
Make your resignation date at least 2 weeks from the date you send the letter to all three of her children. Send the letters by registered mail so you know they had to sign for them and they received them. That way they can't say they never knew your intentions to quit.
I would also send a follow-up note by e-mail a week before your last day and possibly have a conversation with the lead child or the one that pays you.
Remember, you do not have to give a reason for your termination, nor should you.
Good luck in your next endeavor.
