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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our
Privacy Policy. You also consent to receive calls and texts, which may be autodialed, from us and our customer communities. Your consent is not a condition to using our service. Please visit our

Don't let his homesickness prompt you to take him home earlier than is prudent. When my mom had knee surgery, I set some basic lines in the sand of things that needed to be accomplished before she could return to my home. 1) Need to be able to get into the house with minimal assistance (or hopefully alone). 2) Need to be able to get to and from the bathroom alone.
I was unwilling to be up all night assisting her or have her not be able to get in and out of the house safely.
If/when his time in rehab is going to come to an end (when he stops making progress), look at the rules. If he can not yet be semi-independent, he may need to go to a nursing home and continue PT until he is more capable of taking care of himself.
Please come back and tell us how things work out.
Even if he progresses really well, he still may need more help in the home than you are used to giving him (if that's what you were doing pre-surgery). Again, his healthcare may cover some follow-up help in the home (like wound care) but you may want to call Medicare to confirm what this would be, as it won't be full-time and may only relate to his foot care, and not doing his ADLs (activities for daily living).
You may also want to talk to a social worker (not sure if the rehab facility will have one or not) to see if he'd qualify for in-home services that would help both of you.
I would like to be home, but I do not want to end up with problems. My family is very supportive, in wanting me to make a full and complete recovery. Support your husband in participating with the rehab process. Don’t dwell on any problems you are having with him being in rehab. You need to want him home healed.
