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.

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:
Doctors that still make house calls. Are there even any anymore? That would make life easier for us, as it's often like pulling teeth to get her out to her doctor's appointments because of the paranoia and anxiety.
I want a service that can get ALL of their meds on the SAME refill schedule!! We already have everything on automatic refill, but they all come at different times. Too much to keep track of!!
For me it'd be a service other than EMP for Lift Assists! We're getting to the point with my dad where I'm straining to help him up if he falls to the floor, and calling emergency services for a non-emergency doesn't sit well with me. With my father's Osteoporosis he really needs to be lifted by someone strong enough to do it safely, both for him and the lifter and that means medical personnel.
Have you considered lift-assist equipment? That is generally good for transfers. I don't know how effective it is for getting someone up from the floor, though.
Farmjelly, look at PillPak and CareZone. Also, some local pharmacies will manage it for you. We don't use CareZone for meds, but it is a great app for staying on the same page with family and caregivers.
Maybe this already exists somewhere, but....I'd like one address where I can have stuff delivered in my name, where a real person is actually there to receive the package and bring it safely indoors....and THEN bring it to me in the evening or on the weekend, when I'm actually home!
Or else I'd just like courier companies to start delivering on evenings and weekends.
I'm getting sick of having to schlepp around to courier offices to pick stuff up, but they only try delivering once and almost NEVER when someone is here! (Alternatively, the respite workers won't answer the door.) Plus if something comes in mom's name, I have to take her in her wheelchair to pick it up....then good luck carrying whatever it is. Amazon is the WORST for breaking a single order into two or three (or more) shipments, and for using up to FIVE different couriers (all located in different corners of the town's outskirts). And not just Amazon deliveries, but also things like med delivery, medical supplies, specialty stuff for mom, etc. Don't even get me started on couriers who leave stuff outside the door for random thieves to steal.
Ordering online is still easier (and frequently cheaper in towns like mine, where we don't have lots of shopping options) than trying to hunt down certain things in brick and mortar stores. But I bet I still only catch the actual delivery truck 1 time out of every 10. I would definitely pay an extra fee for someone to be my personal parcel recipient and "odd hours" delivery service.
Hi Jeanne; sadly almost all the lift-assist equipment I've been able to research either needs the person using it to have more upper body strength than my dad is capable of, or it isn't portable, meaning my father would need to crawl to get to it which also isn't an option.
