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").

Now if you were in assisted living, then in theory, you would be still able to do your basic activities of daily living and an AL can discharge you to a homeless shelter. Do not ever sign off on any type of document that you agree that you are able to do for yourself, as they will try to use that to say you were ok on going to a shelter
You do not have a home to return to. I’d make it really clear that you have no family that can ever take you in either. Do not ever give them the impression that there is someone - friend, family, etc - that might come for you.
What NH tend to do if there is a resident they need to get moved out for whatever reason and seems to be no family or financial options, is they will call EMS as you seem to appear to have had some sort of incident. Often it will be it appears you have had a TIA aka a transient ischemic attack. TIA are real subjective as to how they look. EMS takes you off to the ER and once the ER or the hospital determines you are fine, they will call the old Nh to let them know you’re returning; the old Nh will tell them they cannot have you return as the NH cannot meet the level of care you need. So the hospital discharge planner has to try to find a shelter for you as your new hospital record will probably show you are not “needing skilled nursing facility”. For the old NH, this route is a legal cya way to get you moved out.
it may need that you get shifted over to Lake Charles area as lots more services available. There is homeless coalition in LC; Tarik Polit 337-433-6282 or Shelly Jordan 337-493-3052 are with the coalition. Unless you have people in NOLA, I would not come here. Crime is real esp carjacking; no decent response time by NOPD. Lots of mean young & aggressive homeless. You’d be at a real disadvantage.
Can you tell us why you are in SNF?
