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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights.

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:
If you don't want the calls never reach out to an agency whose job it is/work it is to notify providers of your needs. If you don't want phone calls tell them that your elder is on medicaid and you won't hear another PEEP. You will move to the list of the "unwanted" very fast. If you don't want phone calls the best way forward will be to do your own footwork. Go online and look up, make a list of all the facilities. Make a list of your elder's assets. Check out each agency one at a time by phone, by zoom, by virtual tours and by computer as you wish.
Remember that when you post here you are just venting to a whole world full of caregivers. While the admins are part of a larger organization known as A Place For Mom, they are not a part of those of us answering you here. We have no control over who calls you whatsoever. We are just folks caring for our own elders. If you answer an ad on the page, that is a seperate entity reaching out to you, not this forum.
Wishing you the very best. It's a lot of footwork.
Oh you had me laughing out loud with your comment that mentioning the magic word “ Medicaid ” will put a stop to the phone calls. Ain’t nothing truer ever said! Thanks for the laugh! 🤭
Sorry this is a forum of Caregivers, mostly from all over the US. There is no "list" that we can give you for ur particular area. I will report your post and maybe an Administrator can help you.
I made the same mistake, contacted an agency online and now have been on call lists for 3 months now! The best thing to do is get recommendations from your loved ones recent providers. If they have been to a hospital, rehab or involved with any other agency, ask them to provide you with a list. It involves you making a lot of calls, but at least you will stop bing harassed every day. Good luck, it’s not easy.
Google the closest professional caregivers near you or contact your local social services in your area for a list of providors. Using professional services means that the caregivers are already vetted. You will still have to take time to speak to the services. as far as ratings for private people it is like roulette. A private caregiver may have been off the market because they may spend years with a client. Do not expect to find many ratings and any caregivers. Private persons are not businessess and you will have to provide taxes and maybe insurance if you hire one. Services may have ratings but you will not be able to find ratings on their hired staff, again because they are not private businesses
An employer has to have a certain amount of employees before they need to offer insurance, I think its 15. Another way of getting away with it is hiring p/t only which is under 35 hrs.
Had a similar issue with care.com. Talking to strangers, talk, talk, talk. Some were obvious scammers. Absolutely no protection for the consumer-and I was searching for someone else!

You get photos, what the carer does and have options such as picking a gender.
