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.

Therapy may be a good thing. It gives you a nonpartisan person to bounce things off of. I would be surprised if a therapist would think that ur parents living together was a good idea. What do ur parents think? I bet Dad thinks its a good idea because Mom can take care of him.
Let them all row where they wish.
What's up ahead in your part of the river? 🏞🛶😊
However, if bro is POA you may not have a lot to say about it.
I would happily go to a mediator if he is POA, but not counseling. And if I were POA I would tell him his idea is silly.
There is no reason to communicate.
What is important now is what your parents want until they are not competent in their own decisions, and when they are INcompetent, who is POA. Nothing else needs discussing with someone with an idea that bad.
If bro would like to go to counseling then I think he SHOULD and should discuss with a counselor the advisability of putting parents with a history of domestic abuse back together on your says so.
Yes. That is hard.
This can be explored to find the specific problem points & then have suggestions for those if you'd like.
Eg When other carers were unavailable to rush over, I would be asked to. It took me quite a while to realise it didn't so much FALL on me as I STEPPED forward into it's path. It took me much time to learn to keep a safe distance. To DODGE.
Who is their PoA? If they don't have one, and your parents don't agree to move anywhere, then you won't need to have any conversation about this with your brother since you cannot get an uncooperative parent to do something they refuse to do.
Can you provide more information so we can give you more appropriate suggestions?
