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.

Also, why would you allow someone to gain legal residency at the address? Then they are your tenant and you would have to evict them.
Also, you want 24/7 care? You would need 3 people.
No, on every level. This isn't a solution. You'd be taking advantage of these kids and putting your LO in jeopardy.
My daughter went for her LPN. They took a 2 year course and put it down to 13 months, 5 days a week all day. When she went for her RN, it started out 4 days a week and her working 32 hrs on the weekend to support herself. Last semester was 5 days a week.
As someone long following your questions here, as I understood it you are not POA for anyone seeking this kind of help.
Can you fill us in a bit about why you need this kind of help and for whom?
Or is this just something you wish to know for your own general- bank knowledge.
Such people get PAID a full salary in ADDITION to "free room and board"!
Who is the POA? That person would make arrangements for any live-in help. Why, because they hold the purse strings and they will be held accountable if its not done correctly. That person will be the one to place Mom for the same reason.
As a person holding the healthcare proxy, your responsibility is limited. Your job is to make sure Moms wishes in the proxy are met. To meet with and talk to Nurses and doctors when needed. If a health emergency comes up that is not listed in the proxy, then you make the decision based on "what would Mom do" and the information you receive. You worry about nothing else, thats the POAs responsibility. That person holds the purse strings so decisions involving how that money is spent is theirs. If the POA thinks the best thing for Mom is placement, then the POA makes that decision because...they hold the purse strings. You r only involved, once Mom is placed, with the Nurse. Not sure who handles problems with the aids because they are not medical. Any problems with them though, are handled thru the Nurse.
Your problem is why you do not make one person the POA and another MPOA. So much easier for everyone involved if one person is assigned both responsibilities. IMO, you worry about things that are no concern of a MPOA. A child, yes, not a MPOA. And even as a child, there is a FPOA that has most of the responsibility and the say in how things go. If anything is asked of you and Moms finances are involved, you do not handle it, FPOA does. You cannot sign admitting papers when you know nothing of Moms finances. You refer that to the FPOA.
Adelaide University attracts many Asian students, some being inexperienced late teenage girls from quite conservative homes. Families can be happy to think that they are boarding with an older person while they study, not going off the rails in the wicked West in a student hostel. ‘Care’ is usually cooking a few interesting evening meals and perhaps cleaning. More likely to be studying pharmacy or OT than nursing. It is usually self limiting, because the student goes home for the summer vacation and probably doesn’t go for the same arrangement the next year.
As Cwillie said, ‘a warm body on site and companionship’, very very limited care.
