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.

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:
You can call Adult Protective Services (APS) and report yourself if you believe you are a “vulnerable adult “ and need assistance. APS is designed to help adults who are at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, including self neglect. If someone feels they are unable to care for themselves adequately or are facing situations that jeopardize their wellbeing, they can reach out to APS for support. The agency will assess the situation and determine what kind of help or services might be appropriate.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you all the best in finding the support you need.
jamminjohn, welcome to the forum. Please fill out your Profile page as that will give us a better understanding of your situation. You mentioned physically can't take care of yourself, in what regards? Why I ask, sometimes physically therapy can be helpful, depending on the ailment. May I ask what is your age?
Another thing, have all your legal documents updated such as appointing someone to be your financial and medical Power of Attorney. And a Will, depending on your assets. Do you have family near by that can take you to an attorney's office, best to use an Elder Law Attorney. Such an Attorney is very helpful should you need to apply for Medicaid (which is different from Medicare).
Hire in home help to start. Then go from there. If you need help, go to the top of this page and click on Find Care. Fill out the info and you'll be contacted by A Place For Mom.
We get this so often. Basically, if you are alone, then when you know you should be in care of some sort I would suggest doing it earlier than ordinarily you would. For instance, start now looking at and familiarizing yourself with your assets, with ILs (independent living facilities) and etc. You might also consider Board and Care where you have your own room, few other residents (usually a total of 6) and better food, more home like atmosphere.l
Consider looking into "The Village". Monthly fee, but volunteers, and shared classes, watching one another, sometimes roommate opportunities. Videos about The Village Movement are available on youtube. This is national (indeed international I think) movement in which seniors band together support.
Let us know other concerns you have in this regard. Reach out to your local council on aging. Consider having a Licensed Fiduciary manage your executive functions (bills and etc) when the time arrives. Just lots of stuff. And if you join a Village group you will discuss them ALL. Good luck. Your question is a bit general and without particulars but sure will come back if you have specifics you are curious about.
