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.

Mostly Independent
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:
Gabriella, you need to start with a Social Worker. Look up a Licensed Social Worker online and make an appointment. If there is any way to get you some payment for inhome care it is likely through Medicaid, but this Forum would know nothing really about what programs exist in your own area as this is a joint state/federal program.
I think it is a great mistake to spend your young life taking care of elders. You will be an old woman yourself by the time they are gone, and there will not be enough money for you to live, and be insured against illnesses and etc. You will not be able to have your own place, your own money, your own family, your own education.
Please consider taking a job and working. You can give care for a salary at any nursing home where likely they will train you in care. Just my own personal opinion. The pay for caring for an elder in home is dependent on many things including their NEED for 24/7 care. And it is very poor pay when you figure out what you do versus the hourly salary and how many hours you actually are expected to work. If you continue to try to care for THREE people here I suspect you will go mad! Please take care.
I am caring for my grandmother Francisca , who is 89 years old, living in my home.
About Me Yes I am her granddaughter iv been taking care of her for years I haven't worked I also take care my aunt as well Im constantly watching my grandma cuz my aunt and her share rooms and I'm constantly busy now I got my mother sick in need of help so I'm back and forth and I have no money I want to get payed for this my grandma told me to find help so I can become her provider so yes I change her I give her therapy once a day I cook for her I watch her in shower when its in need I give her her medications I just need more help she is 94 I believe years old she is my world so is my biological mother but since my grandma stays with me I'm doing my grandma first and we will speak more soon thank u
You think you've asked for help by filling out a profile on a chat forum, but you haven't. Contact your local Medicaid office yo see if there is some pay available for you, or in home help.
You are speaking now to a Forum of caregivers. We have no idea who you requested help from. If it was someone with an AD on this site, you will have to use that ad again to contact them, or use other contact information you find online.
Wish you the best, but we have nothing to do with hired caregiving.
