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").

I do hope you have more luck finding someone that cares - I feel like no one ever cared for me and now still there is no one either to even talk to or sometimes have some companionship. I do not suffer from dementia or anything like that, so it is not like I make demands that can not be met, but she always tells me to call her if I need something. I never do - because the few times I have voiced ,y needs, she has ignored them. She has never said anything positive to me - never admired something I am wearing etc., I tell her all the time how much I like a top she has on or things of that nature.
I do not know that to do - I do not know how to even find someone to talk to on line to interrupt the boredom. I often wonder what gave me the desire to take care of others, never realizing that they may never even say thank you.
I suggest you call your local Office of Aging. Explain your situation they may have resources you can take advantage of. Depending on your income, you may be able to get Medicaid in home help. You could also call Adult Protection Services, they maybe able to help.
Sorry about your friend. Have you stopped loaning her money? Could be the reason she isn't available. If you have IOUs for the money, I may ask for it back, if she is not forthcoming sue her in small claims court if 5k or under. No lawyer needed.
Do you have close friends who would take this on?
You could google "help with EOL decisions" but I am unaware of a free process.
As far as CG's--I'd go with a trusted agency and hire someone who would meet the needs you may have.
Good Luck.
