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.

I care for my mother who has Alzheimer's. I can say that the issue is very, very stressfull. First, I would agree where, whom, ect... I am not saying that with any situation that abuse is OK,it is not. I live in a retirement area, so, I am surrounded with aging, and illness. I care for my mother in her home, and have for 7 years. I will tell you that we had a neighbore's son, who was not doing what he should have done, using drugs, and had no desire to have help come in to the house. I knew she was at a point where she needed hospice to get invloved. I called, talked to him and after two months he had her come.( Hospice that is).
The reason I knew about her situation is that she had asked if I could, or would
visit, upon doing so I could see that she was in need of more help, and montering. As the one person asked, where and whom is caring for the person?
I know the woman I knew always covered up her son's issues. This is not unusual, yet, unacceptable. If the person is in a unit, then call the state, or the AREA ON AGING, which you can call even if the person is at home. Often, if the person being abused will not say so, it becomes difficult to help, but, can be done with time.
As I have been typing this I have helped mom get her night cloths on, get her a snack, and answered at least 20 questions. One has to know, as well what kind of mistreatment, theft, abuse, lack of care, bed sores etc..., before you make any calls.
Good Luck, Let us Know. ( Not all can handle the care of elders).
Failing to do so makes on complicit in the crime and an accomplice.
Speak out, speak up, and speak often until the situation is resolved and the victim is safe.
Is this person in their own home? Being mistreated by a caregiver? Being mistreated by family?
What kind of mistreatment is it?
