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.

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").

Explain that you have no POA. The place you live is not conducive for someone who can't do stairs and is in a wheelchair. Her living with you was only temporary until a NH could be found. There is no way you can take her. Give them the son's contact info. He is the one who needs to be involved. Like said, if no one can take responsibility, then the court will assign a temporary guardian. I would think they can get to her finances to pay for her care. The NH made payee of her SS and any pension she has. If she needs Medicaid, then the guardian will apply.
I do have a question, how did you think she was going to pay for a NH? Did she have enough money for private pay? Which would be 10k a month, at least. Did you consider Medicaid? Are you on her bank accounts?
If she can afford private pay, then tell rehab that. If a NH is attached to the rehab, they can transfer her over. Or help find a place. Even if ur on her bank accts I would not write checks off of them, if ur not her POA.
Whether he likes it or not, her son will need to get involved.
Wishing you and your dear Aunt the best of luck. Know that the best you can do is to be there for her to visit. Know that they WILL be in touch with her next of kin in FL. That is fine. Let them work it out with him. Do not attempt to take this on, as it is a full time dedication.
Hugs to both your Aunt, and to you for caring. Know that there is no way to make this perfect, perhaps even OK.
Neither Medicare nor Tricare will pay for permanent long term care. You need to tell the SW at the current rehab that sending her to your home would be an unsafe discharge.
Staunchly refuse to sign the discharge documents. She needs to remain in her current facility as a long term care, Medicaid resident. Ask for the facility to assist you with the Medicaid application.
