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:
Please don't use capital letters. It means ur screaming and makes it hard to read.
Have DCFS been out to interview you? I would think that is when you will be told the allegations. There will be an investigation and you will be heard. It would help to know what happened that the police got involved. Are you the soul caregiver to the person who is the center of the allegations? We have had a number of people on this forum who someone has falsely accused them. The investigation ended up being a good thing. The accusations were unfounded and they were given resources to help.
If you are being charged with a crime you have a right to defend yourself in a court of law and you have a right to see any evidence the State has. You also have the right for attorney and if you can't afford one, one will be appointed for you by the court. So if you have to appear in court you ask the Judge for the copy of the police report and an attorney if you can't afford one yourself
If there is a criminal action you will see the documentation on that when it comes. Your habit of writing in caps--something that "media" considers to be yelling--should be avoided when you communicate with anyone regarding this matter. Now, accusations of elderly abuse OFTEN come for crazy reasons such as what I call "Families at war". When APS gets these reports from families not caring for seniors about the family who IS caring for them, they are well aware of it. Want to know a secret about how to come out shining like a star? Welcome them. Welcome them to your door, into your home, into your record keeping, into the room of the Senior you care for. Speak honestly and frankly to them. Make them a cup of coffee. Tell them that you understand that they are there in an attempt to PROTECT seniors who may have no voice. More information about exactly what the accusations ARE, and exactly who made the complaints may lead to more advice. If you ever WANT more advice from us. There isn't one of us here who cannot imagine the pain and chagrin if you are unjustly accused, nor the terror you must feel. Wishing you the best.
