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"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. 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. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our
Terms of Use. for information about our privacy practices.
I will say that both realistic and unrealistic fear of HIPAA - as well as the ability to use it for an excuse - has led to even more ridiculous withholding of information that does nothing but cause more harm.
What site did you use to find the records for the home. Please share it with me and others.

Karen
good advise- i have chkd the place on line-lookedup records from state departments,etc
the last time they were inspected was 2005- and nothing after 2009- now we are 2011- so how accurate is this info?
and when i looked up how they did these inspections, how they were rated and how tthey rated he doctors, it was clear to me, it wasnt like they actually spoke to the doctors or checked out where they parcticed-it wasnt done with any great acuracy. as far as i could tell ,
it was very dissapointing to see how they rate these places-actually it is disgraceful!
they only will go back5 yrs ,asfar as complaints- maybe thats enough- but i didnt find it very satisifying even after looking up as much as i could.
i am usually quite outspoken and ask many questions. i alsways have-
but since this last incident- and her being taken up to mass. and me not having poa- it has kind of knocked the confidence out of me, because my gut has told me the truth all along,about many things ,especially in dealing with moms situation.
and now, i am questioning everything-including myself - thats not good- not for me-
but i have to keep pushing- i cant accept not knowing whats up, and being exculded just makes me over emotional and suspicious and diffiuclt- especially to me-
thank you for your post-
it helps ..
i love this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have a good one- weather is nice-
I am an assertive woman and wont take no for an answer,so much so that they call me for any updates . They respect my knowledge NOW! Step up to the plate and show them who is in charge,and if you dont agree...TELL THEM! They work for you not the other way around. Ask questions,put your foot down and most of all never throw the towel in. Blessings Virginia
