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.

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:
If you have a child under 18, then I would say your not much over 40 and parents are maybe in their 60s. Which is young to have any major health problems. But it happens.
We find that Culture has a lot to do with what the parents feel a childs responsibility is to them. I hate "well they took care of you". Yes they did, but they chose to have children and in doing that, they chose to sacrifice. You raise children and you let them go. I hate the word "owe". Once we are adults our parents "owe" us nothing. We also don't "owe" them anything. What we do for them is because they are our parents and we love them and want to do. But that "doing" does not include in giving up our lives to care for them. I would never give up a job I needed to support myself to care for a parent. My future is important too. What we "owe" is that our parents are safe, cared for, fed, warm and clothed. If we can't do it ourselves, for whatever reason, then we find the resources to help.
As a single parent I will assume you work. Your first priority is to your child. The child's needs come first. If you work, then you have little free time so can't be at parents beck and call. So you set boundries. You find resources to help them. Transportation, use Senior bussing. Parents need to realize that you have a life and can not "do it all". So, they need to take advantage of what is out there. Their County Office of Aging is a good place to start.
But as said, more info would help us give better answers. Age of parents, do you live together.
Now I thought there would never come too big a question for me to tackle, but this one would take a lifetime. Can you narrow it down to a question about your current situation?
If you are the single mother/daughter, that’s for you to determine. Roles within a family are unique. We need more info on your specific issues. What’s going on?
Dear Nina please could you give some more information about who is involved and what the issues are? This is anonymous, no-one will guess who you and your family are, so there is nothing to lose in explaining. I think you are asking if a single mother has a responsibility to her own mother, but it isn’t clear. Many of us would think that there is a responsibility to make sure that mother is safe and has necessary care if she will accept it, but not necessarily to provide any care personally, or to put up with being badly treated. I hope you can post again, Margaret
