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.

Great answer Countymouse. I can see that noyifying APS could be a harassment tactic - if you think about it, why should other people be able to poke their noses into your business just because you're a certain age? No easy answer to this kind of thing. APS can be a lifesaver, but nasty people could employ it to harass.
I can understand how you feel about people sticking their noses into your business. I wouldn't like it, I don't see why you should either.
But "know your enemy" - and it's not APS. If you're living with a disability, and if your landlord's overcharging you, and if you know that at some point you are going to need more support, it'll be a lot easier to get the sort of help that would be really useful if you're already in touch with them. You'll know which individuals to call, and they'll already know you, and something about how you like to live your life and what sort of options would suit you.
oh and no it is not so much as who called but i did not want them to come in and tell me how to live or looking at my food less they want to bring some and cook it for me
ok thank you! i am in my right mind i have had some health isues i am disabled but right now i have all i need and i do have some that will call and check, i have been told i have dementia but it is erly stage, they did say i am paying to much for rent here but i thought that was my choice as they do not help me in the first place
Sorry - to answer your first question - no. APS will actively *avoid* moving you out of your home unless there is some incredibly good reason why they have to, to do with your safety or somebody else's, and they can prove that you are not in your right mind. It would be their absolute last resort. Rest easy.
They don't have to tell you who called them. Someone is worried about you. You don't say how old ur. If APS finds that your needs are being met, than there should be no problem in u staying in ur home. Bills are being paid?
As to the why, APS are responsible for the welfare of adults who are vulnerable for all kinds of reasons. If anything bad happens to an unsupported or unprotected adult who is elderly, ill, frail, disabled or anything else, and they'd been told about this person, and they hadn't done anything, it would be their heads on the block.
So, they came round to visit you and checked you were okay. Are you okay? Did they seem concerned about anything to do with how you're living?
