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").

my daughter is a cna and i took her with me to bring dad home . boy was i glad she came ! shes a lifesaver !
make sure u bring someone iwth you and get 2 diffrent color bags for moms meds and her stuff and other bag for ur husband s meds and stuff . that way its all right there inthe front seat and its there when u need it and u know where it is .
do stop and get a room during the long drive . perks my dad up more once he got his room and laid on that bed and whoo what a trip :-) . good luck ..
Did you consider traveling by train? It will take longer but you will be able to attend to their needs the whole time. You would be able to have a private bunk(not sure what it is called) where you all could relax.
I knew of a family who would share caregiving of their mom with Alz. Their mom would come to PA during summer and go to NC during winter. They would rent a large van and drive so far and stay overnite and drive some more. But in your situation that would be really hard on the 3 of you if you have no help.
I am sure someone here will give you a better suggestion to help with your move. Good luck!
