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").

No, your agency is not responsible for the acts of a client. If he was a fellow employee then by law your employer would have to do something. With a client, you as the caregiver put him in his place or you ask to be reassigned. If ur employer won't reassign you then start looking for another agency to work for. Really, if this client has done this before, the agency could drop him.
I am sorry you are experiencing this. But I would think in your profession it happens all the time. Maybe some of your fellow employees can tell u how to handle a person like this. Maybe u should only care for women.
If he is assaulting you why would you keep going back? Sorry, I am very leary about the definition of sexual harassment or abuse in 2020, when people say they have been sexually abused because they were asked to go out, it has crossed a line that makes all allegations questionable. Because I come from a world that you deal with the perp right now, the 1st time and you stay away from them. You don't go back and let yourself be treated abusively and get sexually assaulted.
There is no excuse for abuse, EVER!
Who cares if the Agency you work for is responsible for this behavior or not? In the end, all that matters is you get OUT of there, quit the job, and go find another one, immediately, with or without this Agency's help. In the healthcare arena right now, you can get any number of jobs in any number of places where you won't be treated inappropriately. And, if you are, you'll quit THAT job too. Because no job on earth is worth being mistreated for.
Take responsibility for YOURSELF now, and do what's right for you.
Good luck
