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.

D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

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:
I'm 64, live alone and have only shared the news with a sibling and a cousin. Is there a community of EOD sufferers who meet and support each other in the greater L.A. area?
I think it might be you per re reading your post. What are your fears? What are your concerns? Are you ok?do you have advocate? Yes, there are people here who have dealt with. Stay with us.
I ask the questions I do because I wished I asked them of my own mom. I did not. I wish I did.
Hang tight,ok?
Op so many of us could be in your shoes tomorrow. We don't know.whatever you share with us is helpful. This is the best most active, most helpful forum. Hands down.
I am sorry for your diagnosis. I would assume there is a support group, or actually several, in LA, it’s such a large city. Your doctors should be able to help you find one. I have seen other posters here from time to time over the years who shared that they were dealing with their own diagnosis. You might also call the Area Agency on Aging for your County and see if they can direct you. Additionally the Alzheimers website is said to be very helpful. Come back and use this forum often. We may not have the answers but we care and will do our best to listen and be supportive of your journey. Hugs
If you have a Facebook account there are also groups there. Search on their site. One group on their site "Memory People" was started by Rick Phelps, diagnosed with early onset himself. He has also contributed to this site on occasion.
My thoughts get your documents in place. Powers of Attorney, Last Wishes, DNR, etc while you are still able to. If you have a long term care policy designate someone that will be responsible for assuring that payments continue to be made.
