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:
Ask to speak to the social worker. All hospice has them. We are a Forum of caregivers from around the world. There is really nothing WE can do, but your own hospice can help you. You have another post to us in which you speak of an "assault" and inadequate response to same. This makes me think that there may be some confusion happening, as the report of being in hospice treated like a dog and "being assaulted two days ago".
For that reason I am calling my own post to the admins attention and asking that your posts be reviewed for their action.
I suggested on last post to call 911 and ask for Adult Protection services. If this person can get on the internet, they must have the ability to call 911.
First thing to do is contact the Hospice you have and ask to talk to the CARE MANAGER for your Team. Make the manager aware of how you feel and how you are being treated. Weigh the response. If you are not getting the response that is satisfactory to you you have options. 1. contact another Hospice and asked to be transferred to that Hospice. This would be like changing doctors you would sign a release so the new Hospice can get your medical records and they would put you on their schedule.
2. If you wish to discontinue Hospice totally you can contact your previous Primary Care Physician and get back into their care. You would sign a release and Hospice will transfer your medical records.
With either scenario if you feel strongly about how you are treated you can file a complaint. Medicare has a website where you can file complaints. You can also leave a review of the Hospice you have on Social Media.
Now to the other part of your post. You are being treated like a dog by "both sides" Not sure what you mean by this but I am going to assume family or facility staff and or caregivers. If you are being mistreated by anyone you can contact your States Elder Abuse Hotline number and file a complaint. You can also contact APS. and file a complaint.
Sounds as though he/she is in some kind of facility but it's not clear what their condition is and if this is a hospice facility or something else. Both posts are cries for help, but not sure what he/she wants.
