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.

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:
While the Forum is in fact sponsored and actually owned by A Place For Mom, other than the ads you can access on the site for it and for other entities, there is no help here for your finding care facilities in your area. Daycare is even more rare to find and more difficult, but your MD office may be a place to start in terms of looking for daycare only. So basically it is on your to type into google your needs, and to explore what pops up. As well as day care this applies for "Daily Care" when and if that time comes. It's on you to find access to the internet in your area for places to explore with your family. We are only a group of caregivers, past and present, who are here to answer support questions regarding caregiving.
I hope you will find good daycare in your area. It can be rare, dependent on where you live. Rural areas often have none at all.
Speaking of A Place for Mom and others who do this work of helping in permanent placement, they vary widely. My brother, when looking for a place for his ex-partner, suffering from encephalopathy due to alcoholism, used a group he heard about by visiting a local senior center, who actually physically came to his home, took information about needs, about assets, and then drove the two fellows about looking into facilities in their area that seemed a "good fit". They chose a wonderful place that my brother himself went into in time. Today places vary, whether they take you personally, or take your information and have the entities themselves visit you, much depends, as you can imagine, upon assets. Private pay patients for ALF and MC are prized. Medicaid is not, and you will find few who will work with you where medicaid is involved; you will be more "on your own".
Sometimes Board and Care (getting, sadly, rare as hen's teeth) are a better fit than a nursing home or memory care. More homelike, fewer clients, often family run with a family feel about them.
For now I hope you find daycare. It can be such a help. Remember some facilities do Respite care. So, start online, visit senior centers, visit the places themselves by appointment, call places that give care inhome if you need a break yourself. It can be an enormous task to find ANY care, whether day care, in home help, or permanent placement. I wish you the very best of luck. As with all of us answering here on forum, it is "learn-as-you-go" and you will be able to participate and share all you learn on your journey here if you wish. I hope you will. And hope you will update us on what worked best for you finding the care you need.
I'm sure there has to be several Adult Daycare Centers in the Memphis area. Have you "Googled" it to find out exactly where they are? You can also call your local Senior Services or Area Agency on Aging and they can direct you as well.
