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:
My husbands Aunt spoiled her son. He lived with her and held down a job. She went on a month trip with my MIL. She bought plates with sections. Cooked food and put dome on each plate. Had hashbrown in baggies. All he had to do was take the plate out of the freezer and heat up in the microwave.
Your brother is not able to make himself a sandwich, scramble some eggs?
I know this may sound selfish, but I would not give up my life for a brother. I love them, but would not care for them.
I do not understand how a person that is "fully functioning" can not get a meal. What do you do for your brother other than provide a meal. You say you take care of him. Is that all you do, fix meals? You can get a caregiver to come in daily and fix a meal. You can make meals in advance and freeze them. (or if you are going to be away for 3 or 4 days you can portion meals and leave them in the fridge) If you contact an Agency they will assess him for the care that he needs and a caregiver will be assigned.
Adding to your profile or adding to your questions would help a LOT
You are saying he is functioning but cannot get meals? That isn't computing for me. Microwave meals today are quite simple. There is also delivery of nutritious meals from meals on wheels type agencies which you can call your local senior centers and your local council or agency on aging about.
I think if he is able to contact you easily and you are not too far away, that your making pre-cooked means for him to heat up, soups and such simple things, given how little we need to sustain ourselves when elderly should work.
IF that is the only issue. And usually when that issue is on the table, some others are as well. You may need a wellness check done, and in that case it would be someone stopping by, heating dinner and etc. You could contact care.com and so on. Or friends! It's always great to call them in. Good luck.
If your brother is "fully functioning" can he not put some frozen dinners in the microwave or frozen pizza in the oven while you are away? Or can he not order online food from the restaurant of his choice to be delivered? Your post is confusing as how can a "fully functioning" person not prepare for themselves their own meals? Makes no sense. You might need to fill in between the lines so we can better help you.
