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:
See if you can find a University near you with a School of Dentistry. Often the dental students run a clinic where they are supervised by instructors. These clinics see low income folks and may possibly charge you less but you’ll probably have to pay something.
Medicaid does pay for dental services but the problem is finding a dentist that accepts Medicaid.
Dental work is expensive and most dental plans don’t cover a lot of the cost. We just have to save and pay. That’s why the Dental school idea is a good one. If you locate one please call for an appt in advance as these programs are booked up way in advance.
Extractions, fortunately, are less costly than root canals. You may negotiate with a dentist to get the cost down if you are lucky.
My husband had extensive dental work done and it cost $10K plus for extractions and dentures. He had to have the work done as his teeth due to bad periodontal disease (genetics, his mom had bad teeth).
We had to pay almost everything up front so I know how expensive dental work is. But his infection could have spread to his heart valves and he could have developed sepsis. It just needed to be done.
Have you contacted all the dentists in Fallon to see if any of them accept payment plans?
If none of them do, what about Reno, Sparks, Carson City? I know it is quite the drive, but you have to do whatever you need to do to get your teeth dealt with.
