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").

D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records.

Get in touch with the Maricopa county counsel on aging and ask them for resources for placement. When you speak with places be sure and ask if they accept ALTCS. The placement specialist should not be showing you places that don't accept it, but ask yourself to be sure.
Do anything you can to ensure that she is actually admitted to the hospital and not under observation, two very different situations and observation will not trigger rehabilitation, 3 midnight admitted to the hospital will. Push for that, it gives you time.
I pray that she gets the care she needs and you can find a place that you feel confident will meet her needs.
Good luck!
By the way, we have major difference within the rank and file agreeing to placement. Right now we are stationary, and waiting for some news, anything about mom's overall state of health. I'll inform the family, those I can, of your advice to not do this, or square one shall be breathing down our necks, with loving, yet scattered, and minor assisting again. Thank you again, and God's blessings to ya!
You have mentioned that there have been a few ER visits. My advice is that the next ER visit is that thing sadly called the "ER Dump" which means you let the Social Services at the Hospital know that you cannot any longer care for Mom in home, either mentally or physically, and that to discharge her home would be unsafe; she will not be accepted home and you require placement for Mom. I know how hard you are all trying. Only you can decide when you cannot do this, and it sounds very close that you can no longer. It will be easier for Social Services to find placement (though overall hard for everyone now in Covid-19 time) than for you to do it. I understand the risk of covid, but the risk to all of you attempting this is greater to my mind. So sorry. So heroic what you are attempting but I can hear in your message that this cannot go on.
