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.

You can also use it to talk remotely through the speaker, though the quality is not that good.
Also there is a setting to record just on movement so you don't want to record the whole time. I had them in every room except bathroom (privacy for caregivers). It did ease my mind a lot.
Most aides, CNA’s, etc, were great..Some “bad apples” came into the picture..Myself & other family members had those issue addressed.
Prayers to you & your family. We know it’s tough. Remember, you’re a Blessing to Dad.🙏🏻
Also the hospital does not allow cameras either. I often wonder why and want to ask this question but whom would I ask?
the selling point for me was the continuous 24/7 recording. Most cameras like blink or wyze can only record clips to whatever time frame is allowed. I believe it’s usually anywhere between 30 to 60 seconds per clip. Having 24/7 recording makes it easier to review past footage if I cannot check in or miss notifications for whatever reasons. I also like that they are Pan to Zoom. Most cameras don’t let you pan around their surroundings, but these will let you reposition from the app if you need to pan out for whatever reason.
We did put up a sign warning that you would be monitored but in the end decided I don’t want or need any legal issues.
They were very useful while we had them. We also have two Echo Shows but mom keeps unplugging them.
The next one I want to install just outside of her bathroom, and have her leave the door open when she showers. The shower would be behind a half wall to the right and she wouldn't really be visible, but I could tell if she was in there at least.

They allow you to pan, tilt and zoom, as well as have two way conversation. I live about 3 hours from her.
I also find it handy to see if she is in her chair before I call her, so I don't startle her where she might fall on the way to get the phone.
I have another Wyze cam in the kitchen so I can see if she left something on the stove. (I also have a device that her stove plugs into that cuts the stove's power if it hears a smoke alarm! It's happened more than once.)
I have a third Zmodo cam in her bedroom. I do like the fact that the Zmodo allows me to fast forward through the video recording.
All of the cams I have installed give you the ability to use an inserted USB mini card so that it stores its own video for playback. You can do this from your mobile phone at your house.
You will need to have wifi at your dad's house. These units need an outlet to plug in to, but they don't have any other wires, as they work over wifi.
I don't think you will ever regret installing cameras. Go for it.
He had these cameras in his apartment for about a year. With RING cameras you can talk over them because he would leave his phone off hook. And when he was fixing his food we could see what he was eating or drinking. He only used the microwave.
Prayer
Thank you!
