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
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
If you haven't, then I'd say you should put yourself on every individual place's waiting list in whatever radius-area you're comfortable with and even beyond that area. They take pets.
I don't think HUD applications are the same as Section 8. When I applied on behalf of my father, I applied to individual locations with his information and then waited to hear back.
The age restrictions for HUD senior facilities make them a more open opportunity in my limited experience, and likely much more suitable for your stage in life because it's 62 yo and above.
I hope you can find something suitable.
I tremendously sympathize with you, and I can't imagine how terrifying this is, of all times in the New England winter.
Do you have a car? If you needed to commute to another area how could you get there?
I hope someone here is in your area with a room or unit to rent. I'm wary of Craigs List., etc. Too many weirdos. There are online groups like roomie match but they may also be unsafe. Don't know.
I am about 2 months from homeless myself. California, especially, Los Angeles, is working to get folks housed but with minimal success.
Our Section 8 here is very tight.
States like Ohio, Iowa and Tennessee are cheaper. It will be very hard picking up and moving in winter.
Please keep us all posted.
God bless you
1. Do not move because the landlord has served notice. The onus is on them to take you to court spending time and money or to pay you to leave. Negotiate.
2. Adjust your expectations. The median rent in your area is over 1200 for a one bedroom, and S8 is almost like winning the senior Lottery.
Concerned for you.
Have you any update for us?
Contact your Office of Aging. Since we are caregivers from all over the US and other countries, we cannot really help u.
Disclaimer: Not my authoring.
I would say that first of all you need to check on the landlord-tenant rules and laws for your own city and country. That's very important. In my own area, you cannot simply tell someone with long term tenancy to move because you are going to be working on the building. You have to have PROOF that said work is being done, you have to pay for move, help with move, and allow the tenant to reoccupy when the work is done. There are rules and laws. In order to find out what they are in your area start here:
www.mass.gov/guide/the-attorney-generals-guide-to-landlord-tenant-rights.
They also have a hotline at 617 727 8400.
Talk to other tenants in your building. Are they also being vacated. Do know that they have to legally serve you to get out of the building. A simple letter isn't enough. So stay put and call that number.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Thanks for your reply.
