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 Grandfather wants to continue to stay someplace he can receive a lot of care one question is can he afford that? Does he have assets and income sufficient to pay for assisted living, for example? Would he need to qualify for Medicaid or VA benefits to do that? If so, the social worker where he is now can help you navigate that path.
The other question is what level of care does he need? Could he return to his home if he had sufficient support services? Would that be acceptable to him? Would assisted living be appropriate?
Help him figure out what he needs and how to afford it. Take advantage of any resources available to you in doing this, such as the social worker.
Good luck!
What is your mom's health status. You mention that she forgets conversations. Does she have dementia? Other health concerns like diabetes, chf, etc.? Will she be moving in with your sister or into a facility? A little more information may elicit more suggestions. I think ladeeda has some good ideas.
Are you moving to be near your sister? (that would explain that weird comment about moving causing her condition to become "severe.")
If you need to move to have help with your Mom or for your job...you need to do it sooner than later. If you wait, perhaps your Mom will not be able to travel.
In terms of "settling in" to a new place, tell your Mom that you will be doing it together. Make it a new adventure. When she shows signs of anxiety, just redirect her attention to something positive or an advantage to moving to your new home.
good luck...
I think I misunderstood- did u say in 3 years?
hugs to u
k
She may have a certain amount of depression or anxiety with new surroundings, but if she is to be moved, then anticipate a certain amount of distress coming from her.. Even people without elder issues face the same issues when they have made a major move... I would give her some time in her new environment then possibly a day care where she could meet new friends... Just lots of love and reassurance, a new Dr. waiting, and having things set up for her when she gets there... it will be an adjustment for everyone, but that does not mean it will cause a decline, she may adjust very well after a period of time... good luck and prayers and angels sent your way for all about to happen..let us know how things go...
