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.

1) play the waiting game, and see what happens
2) try to convince the LO that its not safe and get them placed
3) If you deem it unsafe, call APS and report the unsafe situation and see if they will take action/ move to guardianship and placement etc
Whichever choice you decide to take, then its best to stay resolute to it, as hard as that is...
it sounds like you are going with #1, so stay resolute and remind yourself for the reasons you picked it . At the same time, if something happens, eg a fall and trip to ER etc, think and plan about what action you will take at that time....
We’ve come to terms with her “ right to rot” .
You and your spouse should go on a nice long weekend vacay and focus on each other.
I really liked what daughter1930 said. She is so right!
Also I'll add at times for me I feel often like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster.
I worry then I kick myself back into gear. Then I'll be living my life , pretty much care free, then I get a phone call. Then the worry is back.
I think that's pretty typical, for what we are going through. When I have my worry moments, I try to remind myself I got though this the last time, I'll get though it again .
Then I busy myself, clean walk, music, what ever helps me get Me back .
I will agree having a plan does help.
My husband has Parkinson’s decades younger than your MIL and yet I know if not other co morbidities or complications will happen, falls or choking are common with PD.
If I did not accept it I would drive myself crazy expecting the worse every day!
Your mil wants to rot by herself rather than sell this house and get help. It’s up to her really.
