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.

First of all I am sure your in-laws do not have a child proof home. Elders often drop pills causing an unsafe environment and who is monitoring the child while in-laws are getting help in bathroom?
Your husband should address this with the aide since its his mom & sister.
Perhaps the six-year-old is a charming child, who might possibly be bringing a little cheer into Old Folk Land? Frankly, it is her that I feel for; hours spent in a geriatric ward cannot be very nice for her.
As for the “cold shoulder” to the aide: if she is someone whose work your husband and SIL otherwise like, be very careful about alienating her. The next one THEY (not you) hire might not bring a child, but might do something worse that gets you all riled up.
But if you sensibly BACK OFF, none of this will be important!
It’s not a granddaughter or great granddaughter, ils. I see nothing but bad in encouraging this and will absolutely not be part of it.
At least agency caregivers and facility employees are held to codes of conduct. My mom would never get a no agency one and am seeing why. Bringing some kid to work is always inappropriate yet they stretch this knowing they could never do so in an anything with a payroll.
We were coming back from dads funeral. He resisted aides until his end. I can see why. I’m enforcing my boundaries which is never to be in a social occasion with the child or this aide as it’s a biz relationship. NOT FAMILY.
If mom was on the toilet and her daughter started to scream would mom leave MIL to find out what was wrong? My guess is MIL would be left alone in the bathroom.
If the 6 year old was running down the hall and fell and hurt herself would homeowners insurance cover the lawsuit that will follow?
A caregiver should not be bringing ANYONE else with her to her job..
And this may not be a worry but...
School starts and little "Susie" goes to school and tells her friends that "Old Ms. Brown has dementia and has to have her diapers changed by my mommy and she eats baby food" will a child realize that she is violating HIPAA
I would tell the caregiver that if she continues to bring the child she can look for another job. (I am guessing this is happening because school is out and it is less expensive for mom to bring her than to pay for a babysitter or child care)
