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.

The HCP was enacted at the rehab as after the surgery-- underlying vascular dementia surfaced--
I was working so many hours a day to advocate for him-
Wanted to move him a another facility--though he was not accepted due to VRE- and now C-diff--hence she started with that I was dumping him..
He was sick and vulnerable and told me he never wanted to see me again or speak with me.He now regrets this- but during this time it was apparent the crap she was spewing was affecting his care.
I sent a letter- to her attorney and the SW at the facility-- that I would relinquish my role only out of the betterment of my father--
I now know this was wrong-and I am hoping that it can legally be changed back.
It is really up to Dad who he wants to play these roles, if he is competent (in the legal sense) to make these decisions, as you know. If he wants you to be in that role and you think it would be best for him, help him make that official.
Aside from being toxic and obnoxious to you, was Sister doing a good job advocating for Dad? Obviously turning him against you is not in his best interests -- he needs all the loving family he can get -- but are there other kinds of harm she might be inflicting?
Can you both sit in on care conferences held at the rehab center? Your presence might cut down on the lying, or at least give the staff another perspective. I should think that Dad could specify which relatives he wants in the care conferences.
I assume rehab is temporary? What will happen when Dad is discharged? How much longer is he likely to remain in this place?
This sounds dreadful. Best wishes to you!
