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.

Who is POA? Executor? Do you know of a will or living trust?
As said by waytomisery DO NOT LET THE SOCIAL WORKER TALK YOU INTO TAKING HIM HOME! UNSAFE UNSAFE!!!
If you are the only next of kin then it should be rather easy for you to take over... if he has a living trust you can have him resign as trustee and take it from there. If not... seek and elder attorney... it will be costly but the best money you can spend been there done that! Also being on this site helps a lot!
I was POA for my daddy, at the time all my siblings were alive and I only got static from one. But I told them how the cow ate the buckwheat and no one else gave me any static. I cared for him and had to make the decisions for him, advised him to resign as trustee from the living will and just in time because the ALZ was getting bad fast. I have learn a lot from this site and from ALZ.org. Ask questions and know that just because it's out of the box doesn't mean it won't work!
Say there is no one to take care of him . Don’t let the social worker talk you into taking him home with you . They will try to say he’s your responsibility. But you do not have to care for him or live with him . Tell them you can not care for him . Tell them you work ( even if you don’t ).
Let the social worker find placement for him . I’m assuming you don’t have POA, so let the state/county takeover . Don’t pick him up at all from the hospital , even if they try to tell you they will send help ….there won’t be much if any . Don’t let them talk you into to taking him home temporarily until placement either . If you have to don’t answer their calls .
