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

It is a button she can push for help if she falls, gets scared, someone breaking in. It is waterproof and has a range of 1000 feet. It may give you a piece of mind until you get her moved closer. If you order in Florida, you should be able to take it with you to her new living situation if it is still needed. There should not be a contract for the use of the system either. Here is the web site.

Have a great holiday! Bridget
I would suggest you speak with a realtor about her home. We currently rent my mothers, due to me not wanting to sell it for nothing. I do know there are some "laws" or "regulations" on this that are probably different in GA and FL, so I would suggest you speak to a realtor for advice on this and what is best for the property due to the current market in her area.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Deep Breathe, it is going to take a few weeks to settle all matters.

I would suggest you make sure your mother wants to move to GA. Change is very hard on the elder, and she may have a rapid decline after moving if it is not what she really wants to do. I would contact your Local Area on Aging and request support resources for you and your mother. There are several "types" of housing in all cities; you must decide what is best for your mother. Have you spoken to her physician to see their thoughts on moving her? If she is on Medicaid, it does not transfer from state to state; you would have to re-qualify for coverage in your area.
A lot to think about, but I would suggest the first step is to speak to your mother and see if she wants to move. Have you thought of getting her a Lifeline Emergency Response button? If she falls, she can push a button and help is on the way. This may help until the decision is made. Do not "rush" into this if your mother does not want to leave Florida.
