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.

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:
Not exactly much details to go on but if Michael does not have much income or resources, he can apply for Medicaid which can help pay for some of his care.
If he is violent toward you, of course you may have to call the police to have him removed from your home. However, I will tell you, if the police comes and remove him from your time, it is just going to be for just a night and he is right back out the next day. As long as you allow him back to your home, it is just going to be a repeat cycle. The law will not do anything as long as you are willing to let him stay there.
As far as him being evaluated, unless he has been deemed "incompetent" he can not even be forced to stay for an evaluation. He can sign himself out of the hospital and free to leave when he wants.
I agree with the other posters in that we could use more information in order to provide more helpful advice. How long has Micheal been living in your home, is he a relative, is he receiving any type of disability income, does he have other family, is he a veteran, what type of behavior issues is he having (now and before wife's passing) and are those behaviors dangerous to either of you, does he currently see a physician, is he on medication of any type .. you get the idea. We just need a better picture of Michael and his current situation
You have Michaels age as 55, is this correct or are u 55.
You don't mention any Dementia. Behaviour problems usually come with Dementia. Are you related? If not where is his family? Do you have POA. Will make things easier if you do.
What are the behaviour problems. Is he violent? If so, call the police and have him removed. Stating he will not be allowed back in your home. This will get him a Psychic eval. When they are ready to discharge, tell them you can no longer have him in your home. If you know how to contact any family members, give that info. If no one is willing to take on his care, the State will take over and place him. They will become his guardian.
I am assuming Michael is older than 55. Sudden behaviour problems can be caused by a UTI which is very serious for a man. Only antibiotics will clear this up. I would get him to his doctor for a urine test and maybe a good physical.
Medicaid usually only pays for longterm care. And there is criteria that has to be met. Michael would need to be deemed needing 24/7 care. Then you file an application with Medicaid.
What I posted is just assumption. We really need more info to help.
There really is little info to go on here. There is a bit in your profile but not a lot. I am going to toss a few things out here if you add to your info it might be more helpful to others. Is he also a Veteran? If so have you checked with the VA? Depending on the behavioral problems you need to do what you have to in order to protect YOU. If at any time you feel that you are in danger you have to leave and call 911. Inform dispatcher that you are fearful. Inform them if there are any weapons in the house. (If there are secure them, safe or locks) If he is not a Veteran if you can talk to a VA Social Worker yourself and see what type of information they can give you.
