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.

Since your Mom is being cared for in Memory Care, please note such places are expensive each month. Where my Dad was staying is probably now $10k per month, thus $120,000 per year. And if your Mom is doing well, she could spend the next 5 to 10 years in Memory Care, which could be the value of her whole estate. Thus, no estate for BIL to get. Hopefully Mom has her own Will.
Last year I was within seconds of calling APS on my brother, for neglecting my nephews health issues.
I was sitting staring at the number, when my nephews mother, finally called me back and took my nephew home with him.
It was so traumatic for me, to think I actually could end up getting my brother arrested, because he was choosing prayer instead of medical intervention.
After it was over I just collapsed for days. The emotional trauma was so horrible. But if I did call I have no doubt it would of been the right thing.
So I do know a little of what your going through.
As for my brother, we didn't talk for a year, then he got covid, and guess who had to take him every thing he needed daily.
It's hard I get it. But if you feel it's just, then you need to do it
I also do not want to tangle with my sister and her husband over this because it would keep them in my life. She is out, and I want her to remain there.
As long as dad gets buried, I am Letting Go and Letting God.
Thanks.
You did good, if that was all it took to get Dad buried it was stupid to hold everything up. Don't call APS. You are probably all ready in hot water.
I am uncertain why that matters at this point.
Go ahead and present your case and your proof to an APS officer. Ask that you remain anonymous. They will help you decide if there is a case, as can any elder law attorney give you solid advice.
By the way, if the DON at the ECF said what she said to you, ask her if she will meet with APS with you.
