Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
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 ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint.

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:
Place it on the curb a metal scrapper will come by and they will pick it up. Or you can take it to a metal scrap yard and get cash for the bed. (far less than what it cost) I think you will find that most people that need hospital beds will get them through insurance. Most places will not take a used mattress. You could check with Salvation Army or any of your local resale stores. If you have a Nurses Lending Closet in your area they might take it but not likely. If you do post an ad PLEASE be careful of who responds and make sure someone is with you when a stranger comes to get the bed. Best if it is taken apart and left outside for pickup.
I have to laugh every time I see an answer "Check with your Senior Center". I live in a small town and our Senior Center is a small building on a back street. From what I hear, its mainly a group of Senior ladies that meet to play cards.
Call around to Nursing facilities. They may love a new bed to replace an old one. I agree about the mattress but...the cover is made of a waterproof cover that can be disinfected.
Try Red Cross.
If you got it thru a durable equipment provider with Medicare paying, you may want to check with the provider if Medicare is renting it. If so, it goes back to the provider. I think its a rent to own thing so if Medicare has reached the purchase amount it yours to do with what you please.
Contact your local senior center. They might be able to connect you with someone who needs a bed.
Trash the mattress -- no one will take them. Most trash services will do a large item pick-up a couple times of year, so contact your trash company or city to arrange it.
After my Mom recently passed away, we could not even GIVE her bed away. It was adjustable with an expensive mattress. I understand that someone might not want a used mattress but the adjustable bed was really nice. Sadly, we ended up putting out at the curb for the garbage truck to take away.
So true. My husband and I have always failed to give things away, sell them, or profit from a yard sale. We give up. A brand new "Little Green Cleaning Machine" for cleaning carpet spots. It's a "No". But the neighbors enjoyed hanging out for an hour talking in front of our home. Then one neighbor went and got something from his house, and gave it to the other neighbor. There is value to many people to just talk about it.
