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.

Use a sharpie marker to label her name inside shirt collars, pant waistbands, even on the bottom of her socks and shoes!
Rehab is Not going to be a long term stay! The Rehab facility can only keep her as long as she is making progress in her physical therapy, then she must be transitioned elsewhere, either home, if she is able, or to a skilled nursing facility for long term care. That is to meet billing requirements.
Some in-patient care facilities offer both Rehab (short term) and long term care.
That is a question you can ask the admissions director. Also, they may ask you whether a family member will be picking up her dirty laundry and bringing clean clothes, or whether you are expecting them to do her laundry. This is why clothes need to be marked!
I would talk to the Social Worker and explain your situation. I would also ask her what Mom will need in clothing. Some places laundry is a 3 day turn around. I would have at least have two extra sets of clothing over their turn around. Comfortable clothes easy to put on. You will need a bra for each daybof clothing. Socks? Lots, they lose them. One pair of comfortable shoes. Maybe slippers. The SW should be able to help you and give you a list of what is provided. Take pictures of everything especially her glasses and hearing aids. My Mom was wearing someone elses glasses. I had a picture so made it easier to find the correct ones.
Weekends are difficult transfers especially if she needs pain meds as the NH will have to order her meds or that is how it was for my LOs. I would take any meds she has from home that she is still on and see if the rehab will accept them. I had one that wouldn’t and one that would.
I know you are ready to get home. She was lucky to have you see her through this tough time.
Wishing you both easier days ahead.
Hospital has been great but I have helped the RN's and techs a lot here. I have even helped her poo 3 times now. I do believe I have earned my nursing badge here! haha!
Medicare advantage approved her for the facility right behind the hospital. We are just waiting for the facility to respond back. I hope this doesn't take long today to find out. I have all of her stuff labeled and packed. I even packed all her meds just in case. She hasn't been taking a lot of pain meds, just Tylenol as needed. She only takes a VERY low dose of oxycodone at night time.
Wish us luck and send us prayers please!!!
