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.

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").

You could call the cops for a wellness check. Hopefully they will report her to the right agency. If all else fails, then go the eviction route if not paying her rent.
Do not do anymore than call the agencies. If she gets hospitalized you make it perfectly clear that you are just her landlord and you are taking no responsility for her. That means you do not pick her up to take home. As soon as she goes out those doors, the hospital has no responsibility for her. You have taken that on because you picked her up. You make sure they know there is no family or friend so no one to care for her if sent home.
If you find a way to get her help, update us. We learn from others.
Some people are all alone in this world. Since she has no family to look out for her, it makes her situation worse.
I certainly hope that you will be able to find the appropriate help for this woman.
I imagine that if you do have to eventually evict her it will be a tough situation all around.
If there is a Senior Center you can enquire there how to report. Many times the calls to the State hotline will eventually be routed to the local Senior Services Center.
Since you are a landlord in theory you could contact your local Health Department or Code Enforcement and report unhealthy conditions.
If they take her away then, do not answer any calls from the hospital or they might pressure you to come get her. I think that's as much as you can do. The hospitals are teaming with cases like hers so they might be desperate enough to discharge her. I'm so sorry, this is so distressing and I cannot believe APS won't help. This is as much as you can do.
what if you called 911 and said you fear she is a danger to herself and potentially others in the building, might leave the gas on, start a fire?
Sorry if that came out wrong
I have no idea how you can help. It’s a sad situation but it may be out of your control. I am so sorry that you are witnessing this.
