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.

My experience with thorough cleaning was that the disaster remedial companies do an excellent job, but their schedules are subject to disasters, especially if they're affiliated with specific insurance companies. I've used two insurance company cleaners and they were both top notch, but they both preferred to do insurance work and weren't always available.
What I would do is research organizations that (a) help handicapped in general, or (b) focus on your specific handicap. They may have sources of their own.
Realtors as resources are variable. I asked one realtor I was considering hiring if he could recommend a contractor (I don't recall the specific tasks) but he advised that he ONLY would do that if he were retained as the selling realtor.
I don't know if others are as picky, but he was immediately removed from the consideration list.
I would agree with Lealonnie; if the offer to buy "as is" is good, go with that, and let the purchaser handle the cleaning (he/she seems to be willing to do so.)
I don't recall if moving companies will pack; I believe they will.
When I went to all the free senior seminars, there were also a lot of businesses catering to people with limitations. Some were in fact moving companies. So you could search online for moving companies, handicapped owner, or something like that.
You could start here: (Just ignore that ads at the top, and don't hire College Hunks. My experience was them was that they take "junk" that's metal and can be resold.)

Or search on "moving companies, handicapped owner". There are several companies that cater to people with physical needs.
Good luck to you with your home sale & subsequent move to Assisted Living.
