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:
Read article by Brian kaskie too, head in the sand.
It is targeted to ALF. Know the difference between facilities and their regs. These articles help you do that very thing.
There is a very smug poster in the comments in the Times article, blaming the featured person., who apparently, missed the part about multiple health crises. Also, you know, maybe needed to re roof house. There's also a shill for LTC insurance. I think they both get their due.
I read that article, Segoline, and found it quite interesting. I always try to catch Paula Span's articles in the NYT.
The thing I'm scared of is Boomers + dementia. I am afraid of how we can care humanely for a possible tsunami of dementia patients. It is hard for middle class folks to save for years of care.
Sig-other and I are watching the younger generation struggling to put money into savings. Of course, things were different when he and I were saving for a rainy day, compared to what his 40 year old daughter and her family is going through.
We didn't need to deal with having to have $200 blue jeans because of the label on the back end, or needing the most current Smartphone. If we needed a new refrigerator it was a couple hundred of dollars, not a couple thousands. Then again, we don't have room for a refrig the size of a walk-in closet.
Daughter dearest won't drive a car that is over 2 years old. Guess no worry of her asking to borrow our vehicles, our two Jeeps are 23 years old :)
Makeup? Cover Girl not good enough? Got to have Kylie Jenner's expensive stuff. Probably made by Cover Girl or another popular brand, but with a fancy package. Yeah, let's pay $30 more for the cardboard box it comes in.
Oh, I could go on and on. My parents made it like a game when it came to saving. I even saw Mom wearing the parka I had when I was in high school 50 years prior. That women could make clothes, curtains, bedspreads, even towels last forever :)
Wish schools would teach personal finances and how important it is to save money starting in 5th grade. By the time children are in high school, their spending habits are already set and hard to change.
