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.

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").

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.

As far as your family is concerned you need to say no when they call on you,
Things you can do to help yourself -
1) talk to your local agency for aging to see what options there are for your hub.
2) talk to your local social services to see what advice and support they can give you for yourself and your hub
3) tell your own doctor about the situation you are in and ask for help
4) talk to your hub's doctor about his behaviour and ask for help
5) say no to your family when they call you. Decide on your response before the next call - like - "No I couldn't possibly do that," or "I am not able to help you with that" , or "No, that would not work for me". Expect them to pressure you and ask you why. You do not have to give them any reasons or explain, just continue to say No and end the conversation. "Gotta go now, Have a good day".
You are in the abused servant role, no doubt due to the treatment you had in childhood. Only you can take the steps to get yourself out of it, It can be done. Reaching out here is a good step. Wishing you all the best. Keep in touch.
The son...its going to be hard to evict him. But, you do have to stand up to him. He should be paying board. Don't do anything for him. He is capable of doing for himself. If hs ever hits you, call the police. They will take him out of the home. Ask the Police if you can change the locks. That you have no problem in him coming back for his belongings but he will need a police escort to do so. That he is not a renter and gives nothing towards utilities, etc.
Regarding your husband, some way some how, you need to get him into a nursing home. That's where he belongs. You can not care for a violent person who threatens your safety.
Once he's there you can focus on your son. You need to evict him. You will need help from an attorney to do this. If possible, sell the house and move somewhere else. If you rent, that's even better, just move and don't let him into your new place.
Regarding your relatives, stop pleasing them. They are only taking advantage of you. Do you really need their approval?
