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.

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.

When you apply for Medicaid they require that any assets be liquidated and that money pay for your care before they will pay. Life insurances with cash in value need to be cashed in. This money or any of her assets could have been used to prepay her funeral.
The spending money comes from her SS. Your state is high if they allow $120. NJ its $50. The NH must set up a PNA (Personal Needs Acct) putting $120 a month into Moms acct. She is then allowed to pull money as she wishes for what ever she wants. Soda, Candy, clothing, hair done, etc.
Medicaid will pay for Homecare if Mom qualifies, just not 24/7.
Is the AL going to except her Medicaid? If so, call the local office. Tell them the NH refuses to give u Medicaid info. They should give it to you. The home does not "own" this info.
What you need to do is call your Ombudsman. Tel, them what is going on they will investigate. In the meantime, I would pull Mom out of there.
I would need the police with me so I didn't take some heads off, abuse of children, animals and seniors sets me off, what the h3!! Is wrong with people.
Do this today, she could be killed by these sorry sobs.
In addition to calling the Medicaid office to get information, if you suspect abuse or neglect, you should call your state's intake number to report it. The state will send someone to investigate these allegations. And, just so you're aware, abuse and neglect include not only physical abuse, but financial abuse (exploitation), as well.
I would do all of this as quickly as possible to ensure your mom's safety.
Contact your state Medicaid agency. They can help you get replacement cards and answer your questions about what services are covered, providers to use, and how to renew your eligibility.
Call at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; or
Contact your local Social Security office.
