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.

I also have one question. Further on, you say that your mum is in SA? What is SA? I live in the U.S. and don't think I've ever heard of it. Thank you!
This is a total and complete mess.
I certainly have no idea of what is happening.
It sounds as though your Uncle has a female partner who has tired of care of him, and because she is merely a partner she has walked away. Do I have that right?
You use "mum" and I am wondering where you reside, for if you are in the UK the rules and regulations and the protections may be a good deal different than they are in the USA. In this situation in the USA everyone may well be going down with the ship.
What is going to happen here entirely depends upon who is LEGALLY designated as WHAT and it sounds like you don't know the answer to that?
Hence an attorney is needed.
Questions here you need to know ASAP:
WHAT are Uncle's assets ?
WHERE are Uncle's assets?
WHO has control of Uncle's assets?
WHO is POA for Uncle?
Is Uncle competent enough to appoint his sister as his POA or you, his neice, and are you legally able to do all that a POA must do to find his assets, keep track of everything, place him in care and protect him?
As I said, this is a tangle. And it is going to take a whole lot of sorting out. I am hoping this woman, the partner who has walked away has not walked away with assets they may have comingled, because if so Uncle in not only deserted, but he is broke.
I surely do wish you luck and I surely do hope you keep us informed.
Find an attorney now.
If you ARE in the UK and you have a Social Services System and National Health that is a good deal better than ours you may be in luck. Otherwise I shudder for this situation.
