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.

We really need to weigh if Rehab is really needed. Its a money maker for the facility. Medicare pays 100% the first 20 days. After my Moms last stay, she had Dementia, for just getting her strength back, I should have had her sent back to her AL with PT coming in,
Because my Dad is blind his phone talks out loud to him. And because he was in a tiny room with 4 other men, any messages I sent got eased dropped upon. One of his roommates got pretty upset when he learned my dad had the Flu. Poor guy was in recovery from chemotherapy! So he rightfully raised a little hell on his end. For my part, I kept asking questions of various case managers, social workers & nurses. I’m still genuinely trying to understand this concept of “isolation rooms” that are not in any way an actual isolation room. It looks & feels medieval. What am I missing? Are these nurses gaslighting me?
Well, dad & the chemo dude both got moved into single private rooms this evening.
But my trust is completely broken with this facility & my dad is strong enough to come home anyway. So we’ll be free of that place tomorrow. I’ve already begun the process of complaint to the county office that handles this stuff.
I suppose it’s alright to have 2 or 3 patients share a room while in recovery of the same specific virus that they have been tested for. But that’s not what I was witnessing.
When googling & looking through Reddit on the topic it seemed to be a legal practice for Nursing Homes & Rehabs to do. I just can’t wrap my head around how or why.
Sounds like this facility may be owned by a private equity fund. They're oriented ONLY to the bottom line!
You need to report this to whatever board licenses this facility in your state if this is legal. I cannot imagine it being so. Speak to administration and ask for licensing board; let them know you are reporting this today.
I was told by the facility case manager that it’s ok for them to be in the same room if they all “basically have the same thing”.
Well that “basically same thing” is getting spread nice & thick all over that entire facility. No masks, trash everywhere, bodily fluids abound. Grossly understaffed, but what else is new. I’m gathering my proof before I submit the official complaint.
What blows my mind is that practice appears to be completely legal - in California!
I agree with you… murderous comes to mind.
