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.

So questions I would ask would be their hours and if Medicaid is excepted. Moms DC had a Social Worker associated with them. If the DC excepts Medicaid, the SW should be able to explain how you can apply for it.
If Mom has no assets and income is SS and maybe a pension, I would check out Medicaid as her supplimental. Medicaid will pick up the 20% Medicare doesn't pay. Depending on ur State, she may get dental, prescriptions and vision. There maybe a prescription plan that your State offers for those who make too much for Medicaid. Your income should not be considered. Your County Office of Aging is a great resource.
Be aware that your first responsibility is your son. If you feel that caring for Mom is overwhelming there is always Medicaid for her care in Long Term Care. You can check out to see if your State pays for Assisted Livings under Medicaid.
A person suffering from a Dementia should not be left alone after a certain point. At that point, Medicaid has "in home" care where they give her an aide for so many hours based on her needs.
Your future and your sons are #1. If Moms care gets too much, there are alternatives. Don't allow her care to effect your future financial wise. You need to work. You need to raise your son.
look up adult day care, Austin, Texas and you will see several.
Also search for the Area Agency on Aging for Austin. contact them for services available for you and mom. If you haven’t already, seek the services of a CELA level elder care attorney to get her paperwork in order. It’s very important how her finances are handled to not inadvertently disqualify her from Medicaid if and when she needs it. One last suggestion is to get your son and yourself therapy to better adjust to this life changing event of having your mom move in.
