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.

Stop borrowing trouble. Stay OUT of this situation and go on with your life.
You might find out if discharged herself from rehab against Medical advise, which might have triggered the rehab to call APS.
You could all call her local police department to ask for a wellness check.
And finally, you could call her local Area Agency on Aging and ask their advice.
Its really nice that you have empathy for her. I could empathize with one of my Aunts, but there was no way I would ever care for her. She drove all her nieces and nephews up a wall.
Please do come back and tell us how you were able to handle this.
You need to let this go. If anyone could be held responsible for ur Aunt, it would be the family that lives near her and they can't be held responsible either.
Did you call the SW at Rehab and tell her that releasing Aunt would be an unsafe discharge? Have you done anything that we have suggested? If not then I don't know what more we can do or say. We have suggested what has worked for us and others our suggestions have helped.
I just merely wanted to express some concerns and vent. Sorry if I frustrate you. Thanks.
You're either IN or OUT in this kind of situation. One step IN and you may as well sign up for FT CG.
Thsi neighbor was kind to help you out. But sounds like your aunt is going to go back to the dynamic she was used to.
Let APS do their thing. It is maddeningly slow, and they have pretty 'low' standards, in my opinion about who is 'fine' to be left alone and who isn't.
I'd let the cousin handle things. This is not your mother, yet if APS gets wind of your involvement, they may reach out to you.
It's truly sad, but some people are perfectly happy living in filth and disorganization.
You cannot MAKE someone take care of themselves.
They might have released her early because she either checked herself out or she wasn't cooperating with PT, or not improving.
