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.

I agree, stay home a couple of days. We started out with an itchy sore throat that went into a head cold thing. Husband ran a fever, I didn't. We were tired.
I think there are exceptions for compassionate care though - and a terminal condition would qualify for that. If it were me, I would wear an N95 mask and arrange a brief visit in a location where there's airflow, e.g., outside on a patio. That's assuming your mom's condition permits that. The hardest thing for us is not being able to see with our own eyes how dad is doing when the facility is under quarantine. Best wishes to you and your family.
That all occurred in March 2020. We were in a COVID hot spot and soon after, they locked down. I was “allowed” to enter because she was on hospice, but since she tested positive for a couple months after her symptoms cleared, it was recommended that I not enter because I too was in a vulnerable group.
I became infected myself in Jan. 2021, because in spite of my vulnerable status, I was unable to secure vaccination. After I was virus free I was able to socialize with her in her MC room.
For yourself, you must find out what the status of the virus is in your area. We have been a hotspot for TWO YEARS.
It is a terrible curse to be caught this way. I understand your concern.
SO reported the exposure to his work as it’s a senior facility. They paid for the tests but otherwise he had to go to work. Since then, more seniors have gotten it.
I would say that maybe for a couple days have your visits on the veranda. The weather is good.
I'd take a break from visiting for a few days. Can she talk on the phone?
If neg & no symptoms I would go but wear the PPE (N95 mask, gloves, faceshield, gown).
I do agree that the staff should have warned you when you visited today.
