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.

Porchpickles, we weren't able to attend this past Monday, we lost track of time.... but have marked our calendar for May 12th. My significant other and I thought we would give the group a try.
porchpickles, thanks for the update. The support group at the church is right down the street from me, just minutes away. I will see if I can attend tonight, if not, then will try for May 12th.
blannie, thanks for that information, too. Both are something to look into.

Here's info on a telephone support group: Fairfax County’s free Family Caregiver Telephone Support Group meets by phone on Tuesday, May 13, 7-8 p.m. Register beforehand at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dfs/olderadultservices/caregiver.htm.

thank you freqflyer.......i found a church called dranesville united methodist church, with a woman by the name of debbie....no response as yet.....last year she advertised a support group for caregivers on mon. evenings at this church...hope one of us can get thru to them and find out more info........
porchpickles, I live in Sterling and I also have been looking to see if there are any caregiver support group.... I think it would be great if there was one where we could exchange ideas and to be able to vent.
Let me know if you find one, and I will do the same for you.
Try calling a non-profit social service organization in your community or your local Area Agency on Aging.
If that doesn't work, go to your state website. Type the name of your state and the word "aging" in your browser. You should see quite a few links. Look for caregiver support. Every state has a version of the National Family Caregiver Support Program though it may have a different name. These people can be very helpful when you have questions about resources in your community. While you're at it you may want to explore the other links on the page. Often, there's more support than we are aware of, but so much depends on the state where you live. Good luck, Carol
