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.

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:
meaning, it’s the doctor you see for wellness exams, non-emergency health issues and to make referrals to specialists.
Once someone is almost 65 they need to sign up for Medicare a month before their 65th birthday. Medicare is commonly accepted so you can pick from just about any clinic or office.
Generally that acronym stands for Patient Care Practioner. You can look up online what things that medical person is licensed to do, but it includes testing, diagnostics, medications, referrals to higher level of care.
If you are newly ready to go on Medicare, it IS a bit of a process. I would go to the Medicare site and read up on how to apply for Medicare. Also know that they do have advisors who can help you. Be very careful online not to sign up with costly "helpers" or those folk hoping to talk you into their own supplemental policies. Be sure that your online help site end with .gov, meaning that they are governmental help. If you feel you are incapable of this, or it is too complicated, time to seek one on one help. Some options for help: 1. Friends who have recently done this 2. Your MD office who will advise on a social worker to help you 3. Senior center who may provide help through volunteers trained in helping with this 4. Faith based community whose pastor may suggest someone to help you walk through the process.
I am wishing you good luck. Be very careful of scams trying to sell you something you don't want.
Your last question concerned your 74 yr old brother is this question also concerning him.
PCP stands for Primary Care Physician. Your brothers GP, regular doctor. If you live in the US, your brother should be on Medicare already. If he collected Social Security before age 65 Medicare is automatic. If he was not collecting Social Security at 65 he needed to apply for Medicare. He should have a card maybe in his wallet. If you know who his doctor is, they will have a copy of his card on file. If they do, they will bill Medicare for the visit.
