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. 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"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

Oldeman, we are only members of this forum because we are giving care or getting care or have care questions. We don't have the power to block anyone at all. If a post isn't coming through we can have no idea why it is not, as that would mean the admins have blocked it, or you didn't post it correctly. A mistake I sometimes make in my hurry is to press the enter key on my computer instead of the "post answer" button on the AgingCare. Could you have done that? Could you re-ask you question right here right now. And you should NEVER put your private name or email up in a public Forum. If the question is about side rails, which some think it is, you may need to accept that it is against the law in many if not all states to use them now. People have died in the rails getting hung up with bedding. It happened once in my own San Francisco Hospital. There are injuries from falls as a consequence . With our aging elders not everything can be fixed and not everything can be prevented, sadly. They use padded floor matts and roommates who are more alert and can call sometimes, really anything they can think of. They are no more fond of broken bones than we are, and too many can mean removal of licensure. Hope things calms for you. Please let us know how we can help here on this thread. Do know if this one goes missing it is likely because admins on the site got worried about your posting of private information. Please take care.
Well first, your two posts one from Sept and the other is from Dec are under the ID of OLDEMAN not Energency911. That makes a difference when u search.
On my screen your ID is oldeman. There should be a blue circle next to ur name with an O in it. Click on that. Then click on Profile. There will be a line of topics, click on following and you will see your two previous posts.
I am so sorry you are going thru all of this but as a forum we can only point you in the right direction, we are not able to physically help you. Our members are from all over the US, some from Canada, the UK and other countries. We are not an employment agency. We do not provide aides.
Bed rails in Nursing facilities are not allowed by law. They pose a danger. People have gotten their heads stuck between the rail and others have tried to climb over them and fallen causing death. Precautions are taken because of the law. Bed lowered within a ft or two of the floor. Pads put on the floor. My Mom was given a concave mattress. If you insist on bedrails, you WILL find no place that will take her.
You need to call Office if Aging in your County and ask if they can help you get your wife placed or even Adult Protection Services. Both of these suggestions were made in your other posts. If you wife is on Medicaid ask her caseworker if they can help you get her placed that you need more help than is being given. I hope you have a family member or friend that can help you manuver some of this. Like I said, we can only point you in the right direction.
Terrible.....she has to have bed rails, and no place will take her...y es, I am old, but no one will help...she needs more care than I am able . She has Medicare/Caid, but CAP and PA CE won't pr ovide ("can't") more than 2 hours f or the whole week in house. On low Social Security.

Can you post again?
I see that back in September 2021 you were trying to find more care for your wife. How are things going?
