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

Please review the profile to help remove this poster's personal details. Thanks, for her protection.
You could probably get some resources the O on A too. Someone suffering from Dementia should not care for someone also suffering from Dementia. You need to plan how your care will be handled too. Do not expect family to do the caring.
Losing your temper at home & living in an unhappy household is not helping your mother, or you, to live peacefully under the same roof. As 'bad' as you may think it is to get mom into a nursing home, it will be for the GOOD of BOTH of you to do so. If she's using government money, how can the facility 'take advantage of her financially????' Be an advocate FOR your mother while she's living in the nursing home by visiting her often and making sure she's cared for properly. "Praying for your enemies" is not doing a darn thing for you today, in the situation you're in, where you can no longer care for your mother who's suffering from dementia. She's not 'the boy who cried wolf', but an elder who needs help that she can get in a nursing home. Look into Medicaid NOW to get her placed and out of your home, for her own sake as well as yours.
Now go over to your profile page and fix it; get rid of the personal names you've put there. Realize that this is a chat forum and nothing more. If you need help placing mother, on the right side of the screen, press the GET FREE HELP button and speak with a care advisor about your next move.
Good luck.

Patricia. I am relieved that you have a counselor; please lean upon him or her and ask for help with your many issues. I am sorry you are going through all of these problems. I think that they are beyond the ability of anyone on a general Forum to do anything but sympathize with you, which I am certain we all do.
Please try to go into your profile at once and remove any personal information, Patricia. Don't ever put this out on social media; it can be dangerous.
My best wishes go out to you and I am sorry you are going through all of this.
