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. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

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:
The very first thing that comes to mind...disconnect the phone and go to using cell phones. My mom could use a regular phone but was lost calling out on a Cell phone but could answer it. Of course she was mid stage Alzheimer's/front lobe dementia when we did this so I expect it would depend on your mom's ability. Just a thought.
What do you mean by "her banking in a trust"? Are her bank accounts set up in the name of an irrevocable trust, of which only she is the signatory?
Is she buying these things through electronic checks?
Do you have access to her phone to put blocks on the numbers of the telemarketers or others who I assume are calling her, or is she calling them? If the latter, can you get the ads and marketing material, copy them and send them to the Attorney General of the state in which she lives and ask that an investigation be conducted?
You can add her number to the Do Not Call list, but I've found that most telemarketers ignore that and still pester me. However, action has been taken against some offenders. It's just a long process for the folks who handle these issues.
What are these pills she's buying, and how do you know they're "hocus pocus"? If you can get information on the suppliers of these so-called pills, you can contact not only the Attorney General for the state in which your mother lives, but the AG in the state from which the outfit operates. If it's an interstate transaction, I believe the Interstate Commerce Commission and possible the Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction as well.
Unfortunately, it does take awhile for the federal agencies to move against people who prey on elders as there's a lot of legwork and documentation to be done.
0green1, you can't stop her, especially if she's an adult of sound mind. People who love to shop never worry if they will have enough money to live off of next month or next year.
Shannon, I wouldn't remove the land-line just in case there is an emergency, the 911 dispatch will have your home address already in their system, and the Paramedics can be dispatched immediately. With a cellphone, there isn't that option, and if the caller can't give the dispatcher their home address, it will slow down the response time, up to several hours trying to locate where the call is coming from.
