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.

My therapist and doctors told me a was a stroke waiting to happen or worse.
Remember, you will be of no use to your mother if you are dead. Please get some help. I hope this helps at least a little. Take care of yourself!
As others have said, it’s time to look at a new approach with new assistance - please.
You matter too!
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in the midst of caring, and part and parcel of that condition is profound exhaustion. It took me literally YEARS to recover from the effects of those seven years, and when deprive of sleep, even over a decade later, I can STILL revert to sleep deprivation symptoms.
Consider whether you’re establishing a fair balance point between caregiving and your own health. No one can really do that but you. As you consider, realize that YOU are an important part of the equation. Sacrificing your life out of love for her is NOT solving a problem that needs to provide for both of you.
I understand that's touchy.......but to be frank, f it.
It may be possible for your mom's Dr. to fill out your ppwrk. Ask.
The goal is to relieve yourself when you're exhausted from this huge thing that's just gonna consume your life and protect yourself from termination.
I resigned. I was a US mail carrier for 18 and a half years until my mom stopped using the toilet.
Your own PCP may need to fill out the FMLA paperwork for you. Every business has their own guidelines for what can be covered. .
Sounds like it is time to get some additional help for you or consider going part time.
Your boss is not allowed to ask why you have FMLA BTW.
The best of luck.
