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 that is the case please reach out to your Faith community. That is some of the best community there is, and you can readily call and find out what houses of worship that believe as you do would have some transit help to get to meetings, services, bible study.
In the states some areas have active senior center communities with bus service; we do in my city. Some will pick up and deliver for daily meals. There are also councils on aging in some cities.
Begin to reach out.
I agree with others that all you have been dealing with may have led to clinical depression and you may be greatly helped by having low dose anti depressant. As to what other activities you might enjoy I can't know what they would be, but anything from books to puzzles to crafts might help. You could be the next Grandma Moses.
Yes I agree with the other respondent. A Church is crucial. I saw many articles and videos on loneliness specifically in England. It's a real problem, never mind if you're sick on that of that.
Every opportunity that has come to me in my lifetime--friends, job opportunities, dates, travel has come from my Church. I would be lost without it. It is never too late. Sounds like you met your husband there too.
My mother is quite ill. Every Sunday since her convalescent a member of Church comes to the apartment and brings her Communion, a Bulletin, says a prayer and any type of Liturgical Season celebratory booklet. The parishioners rotate
every Sunday, so about nine different people show up. It's wonderful.
Don't sit by waiting for people to show up. Pick up the phone, call your Pastor and invite people over for coffee/tea if you are able to do it. People don't expect a 4-course meal just hospitality.
The Pandemic has been a game changer but things are getting better now and it is never too late. The computer is not enough. We all need people and the fact that you reached out is proof that you are aware of it.
Amen...
That would help you feel connected to your new community and give you a pastor to tell your husband that being abusive to his wife is against Scripture.
Once he is placed, please, take time for you. Find and cultivate new friends, hobbies and ways to help others in need. It will help you recover from his hateful treatment.
The light is getting bright, 2 to 3 weeks, you can do it!
