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.

If you are coughing, sneezing or having bathroom issues, you should not be flying. I do not care if you are on antibiotics, the possibility of you spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria to a plane full of people is too great. Unless you are prepared to wear a mask all the time on the plane and also in the many line ups at the airport prior to boarding.
This has been a year of antibiotics for me. I understand the reluctance of many to not overdue them but because they were withheld from me initially during a root canal,then given a mild one only switching later to a stronger one,and in retrospect not being on them more seriously I developed osteomylitis in my jaw which created a nightmare. I had to have major surgery,then a PICC line for 6 weeks and now am on a course of them for 6 months as there can be concern infection can interact with the plate in my jaw and tissue that hopefully is growing to a degree around it which will help with future surgery. I have been around 3 grandchildren this winter and did not get a cold which is the only positive side effect of my ordeal.
I certainly agree with others about consulting the doctor who prescribed them. Hopefully you too sense whether your illness is improving.
However you also run the risk of getting ill again. Air travel is nasty when it comes to picking up colds and other respiratory illnesses.
If your parents live in AL or other "community living" situation it is common to pick up things like Norovirus and with you recovering from an illness your immune system is not 100% so make sure you wash your hands constantly and use hand sanitizer.
You can also use a mask if there is any chance of respiratory illness. You can pick them up almost anywhere now.
When you say frail, what exactly do you mean? Cancer patients have weak immune systems.
It would be a shame to cancel unless it’s absolutely necessary.
