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:
I have absolutely nothing to do with her, I don't call her, visit her, even think about her, really.
People (including family) think it's all on me. I'M the one who should work harder to be nice. 44 years of working hard and she still openly tells me "I hate you, I have hated you since B brought you home to meet us."
WHY should I put myself in that position? I do NOT need her toxicity.
Staying with people who are so angry, sick, whatever, is simply asking for more of the same behavior. My DH has to deal with his mother and he has begged me, offered me money, anything, to go with him to her home. My answer is no and will be no until she's laid out in her casket.
Does that make me cold? No, not at all. I am self preserving. I am currently treating for cancer with chemotherapy and I feel rotten every day. What did this lovely lady say to me about the cancer? Nothing. not a word. Not even "I hope you die" which at least, would be honest.
i have lived with my aunt half my life, after my parents passed on she just changed and started calling me names , labeling. She sulks and snaps at me for no reason. when she is happy i should be too same applies when she is mad. She does things for herself and forgets about us, leading me to hustle. when there is an elderly who can support and help me.
Welcome, Ashanti! We're happy you're here, though I'm sorry you have a need.
Could you provide more information (like Ahmijoy above, whatever you can tell us).
One thing I can tell you is there are many of us who have been (or still are) in the same position you are. I thankfullly found this site at one of the lowest points in my life, and the good folks here helped me more than I can express. You can find comfort here knowing you're not alone (sadly).
Seems you have the same problem a lot of us have. We call them Narcissists and a number of the members have parents and family that fit this description. And it seems that the one taking care of them is the child they know they can intimidate.
For you it may be a cultural thing. Here in the US we have options but sometimes those options are not available, usually because not enough money, and the caregiver is "stuck" taking care of a person who is hard to care for. Some have taken a parent in only to find it was a big mistake. Parent has no money and is with it mentally so you can't force them to leave.
Boundries is the main thing. And there will be members who can help u with this.
