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.
*If I am consenting on behalf of someone else, I have the proper authorization to do so. By clicking Get My Results, you agree to our

Please provide a few more details and we'll see how we can help....
I've never seen this discussed on any site but what about pet care. She needs litter box cleaned out and meds given to cat which is her only companion right now. She needs trash taken out and trips to store and run errands. Also cooking and cleaning. She can do light cleaning but not scrubbing carpets etc. Also needs someone to take and record her blood pressure. She needs someone to just be there for short visits and stay if she isn't feeling well because she gets scared by herself. She is having tests done for heart problems at the moment. I live 1 hour away and come one day of the week but that's not enough. Relatives live near her but their capability to help is very limited.
So, I'm not sure if this falls under assisted living or what.
Insurance pays 80% of home care. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm totally lost and overwhelmed.
One thing to give serious consideration .. your mom's condition(s) are more likely to decline than improve. Meaning: think long term. She'll need more and more help as time goes on. Plan for it now, and you won't be surprised when it happens.
Let us know how it goes or if you have more questions.

For an out-of-stater, they can help coordinate care for your mom. It might be a good place to start. They're kind of your eyes and ears while you're not there. They're not cheap and are typically private pay, but they can really help in some circumstances. That site also helps you find one in your mom's local area.
