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.

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").

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.

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.

Also, you don't specify about what "antics" are likely to get her kicked out... is she physically aggressive? Does she wander? Please provide more info.
If you are her PoA (or someone else is), then consult with a Medicaid Planner for her home state and stop assuming about what she'll qualify for or not. Know facts by talking to professionals, even an estate planner or elder law attorney. They can give you strategies or answers that you will need.
My MIL is in a faith-based facility run by the Presbyterian Church even though was has never been of that religion. It is a fantastic place. These types of facilities see the care as a mission, and also are supported by a larger, financially stable organization and are non-profit, so their prices are more reasonable. See if you can find any of these types of facilities in her area.
If your LO now willingly takes medication, can she be given something to reduce the likelihood of her "antics"? Talk to her doctor.
Oftentimes in caregiving there are no great or even good solutions, only "least bad" options. I wish you success in finding affordable and appropriate care for her.
She probably needs a memory care facility.
I'm going to level with you as a person with 25 years of experience as an in-home caregiver to the elderly and as a homecare business owner.
You're not getting anything on a "budget". If the person you're talking about (who I'm going to assume is family to you) is low-income the option is Medicare and Medicaid to pay for services.
She will not get live-in or even several hours a day of homecare service on Medicare and Medicaid. She will probably get a few hours a day a few times a week.
So pretty much her choices are a memory care facility. That's where people with dementia who are low-income go.
I apologize if this sounds harsh, but it's true.
