Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

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.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You used to look so good (as in sharp) before the stress of caregiving got to you. Now, you just have enough time to only put on lipstick, clips on your hair, and frumpy (barely ironed, blouse loose and not tucked in, etc..) clothes - while rushing out the door. Only to find when you arrive at your work's parking lot - 8 minutes late and still need to huff and puff up 3 flights of stairs- that your shoes don't match.
.......if you derive GREAT pleasure from eating alone, what YOU want to eat, while watching the show YOU want to watch, at a volume that doesn't blow out your ears! Yes, Mom went to the sisters house for dinner tonight. It was heaven!
...... when you finally get a few minutes to yourself in the car.... great music on the radio, and your movin' like Jagger, singing like you honestly think you can.... and you are FREE..... Just for that few minutes.....
You may be a caregiver if............. * you wake up in the night because you think you hear them call your name . . . * you are accused of 'taking' everything they misplace . . . * you are a scoundrel and their other 'negligent' children are God's gift to mothers . . . * you are an expert at 'background checks' - meaning you can 'check' their med box while talking about the weather; 'check' the commode for 'color' while making their bed - so they don't know you checked, etc., etc., etc. * you are accused of wasting perfectly good food if you toss out 'liquid' lettuce in ziplock bags, leftover Meals on Wheels food that is 'growing' penicillin, etc., etc.
You know your a caregiver if .... while making spreadsheets of dr.s appointments for caregiving, you realize you have taken her to the doctors more than eighty times to their (POA's) one and two times...need I say more?
when you need three different plans in place for care of loved one so you can do something for you. Something is bound to happen to make the original plan completely unworkable.
The son was complaining about how many napkins, paper towels and tissues he found while looking for the teeth... I just laughed, thought of all of you, and walked out of the room...
...... when the family is freaking out because she has lost her 'teeth', and you find them at the foot of her bed, under the sheets and blankets, wrapped in.... you guessed it..... tissue....
You know you are a caregiver when you can't sleep at night due to rashes and other stress related physical ailments. Yes, I've been up since 3 am...again.
you know you are a caregiver when you go through all the stages of grieving and it's for the purse (spoiled food and all those napkins)they no longer need and you no longer provide...
… you take the responsible decision not to drive 120 miles and back to your stepdaughter's 30th birthday party tomorrow because something's just not quite right, and your mother says "never mind we can do it another time can't we…"
when at a store I am restocking the shelves after my elderly parents had picked up dozens of items to get a closer look.... it wasn't the item they wanted... and they can't find where on the shelf they got it.
If you are a distance caregiver and want to stay on Northern Alberta rather than moving south where it is warmer because it allows you more distance between you and your difficult care receiver (minus 40 with wind chill this morning!)
When you spend the night away from home as respite, then the day you go back, you're torn about wanting to stay away and yet going back home to make sure everything is okay.
