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.

Make the State open the owner's books! She MUST account for every penny spent especially now that the State has entered the picture.
The AL WILL BE SHUT DOWN if she doesn't do what is required!
What did the caregiver complain to the State about? There could be Elder physical abuse going on, taking certain medications for themselves or to sell; not unusual.
Your mom isn’t the only one affected by the closure.
Do you know some of the other families at the place?
Do you know the caregiver that was the whistleblower? This person is central in all this, bet they have all sorts of info.....
I’d bet you could join a conjoined (kind like a class action) type of lawsuit against the owner of the AL and any assets they have. Not just the residents and family but staff as well, so the suit is bundled. An attorney will take this one on as there will imho likely $$ to be made. Now the sticky will be that it will take time to run thru the legal system.
And you kinda need to think abt the consequences of mom making $ from this unless it’s a larger amount that could pay for years of facility care when added into whatever income she now gets (like her SS$). Remember if it’s her that gets the $, it will be her asset. For Medicaid that’s in most states limited to 2k in assets. So over that she’ll have to spend down to become LTC Medicaid eligible.
if you do, then I would demand a refund.
my reasoning is this...if a landlord lost their occupancy permit, then The tenants not only move out, but get their rent money refunded. I see a direct correlation and I think a judge will too.
this was an involuntary move demanded by the State as the result of the direct and deliberate decision on that part of the home to NOT comply. Get your proof together and go to court if you need to.
Yes, under the circumstances she should be paid for unpaid days. I would also wonder if this was legal.
