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.

If client is competent, then the daughter is oversteping. He is able to make his own decisions. When he sleeps, when he wakes, what he eats (if not on a special diet) who he has over.
I would tell the son what u have observed. Not asking for another aide or saying anything about firing. Just state what you have seen and let him go from there.
It is the daughter overstepping, she has totally changed the rules, but the job is what it is. It is not a bad job, and I just have my moral compass of being the best I can be. I know that sounds hard, but my husband has leukemia, as well as other situations which have financially set us back, so for the moment, I am staying there, but I know with my 17 years of experience, I have softened up. The only time I will say anything even to APS, yes, is when she goes downstairs and lets him stay upstairs and he is alone.
I don't understand some caregivers, but may I mention, if your client is a fall risk, please do not leave him sitting in a chair. Basic common sense.
Yes the other caregiver is getting a lot more money and doing nothing and getting paid to sleep through the night and maybe get up maybe not, depending on her mood.
I have realized that I read this more for ways for me to view it and I thank you for your post.
The daughter rather than have me come in at 10, has me start at 11, the client is totally alone all am, and now is unable to get up by himself. I have offered everything, and money is not the issue.
Quite sad, but thanks.
I am a true 100% caregiver, and feel that my words are not being listened too.
The gentlemen told me how upset he gets because xyz never eats with him.
I mention this to the daughter, as she wants to be involved, and she says oh that isn't true. Well, I hear it all the time.
I am frustrated as the Caregiver Contract is something I don't agree with. I think it is unfair to make the father go to bed at 7:30pm when he has just gotten up at noon, for the other caregivers sake. I feel there are favoritism being played.
