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.

Thank you for the information.
BIL would get bored sitting in mom's room, so he would go out to the car to smoke and then he would come back. As he was walking down the hall to mom's room, a new CNA started following him, asking if she could help him and he said no and kept walking. She asked him where he was going and he didn't answer because he had signed in and listed the room number he was going to. The CNA was getting more and more upset, and she asked him for his name. Again BIL didn't answer because the information was on the sign log. About the time the CNA told him to stop or she would call security, my BIL got back to mom's room and went in and sat down. The CNA and the security guy came in and told my BIL he had to leave. My sister asked them why BIL had to leave, and the Security guard said he couldn't just go into any room he wanted. My sister told them he was her husband and the Son in law of the lady in room 134B!
The CNA thought my BIL was a resident there because of the way he was dressed and walked and talked, and that he was lost!
We laughed about it for several years.
I remember one time when I visiting my Mom's nursing home later in the evening. The nurses/aids were trying to get the residents ready for bed, but some of them would start wandering around the halls in their pj's. The nurses/aids got them back into their room. Before you knew it, they were back out in the halls. I overheard one nurse say to herself "God, give me strength". It was like herding cats.
