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.

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:
By & large at-home caregiving is done by family for free. Whether or not this is fair or good is a whole other issue...... If they get SS or other retirement or have savings, they are expected to use their income & savings first to pay for outside caregiving services.
If they are at or below poverty level and meet the criteria for needing skilled services then Medicaid could pay for some services. They would need to apply to your state's Medicaid program and then if accepted the state would provide & pay for the service directly to the providers (at their negotiated contract rates).
If they are really ill, they could apply for hospice which Medicare pays for. But they would need to meet the end-of-life criteria to be on hospice. Hospice can be done at-home or in a facility. My mom is in a NH on hospice and has 2X a week RN visits, 5X a weeks CNA with bathing on 2 of those visits and assistance on feeding plus twice a month social worker & clergy. If mom was at home, the service provided would be the same. All of which Medicare pays for and it was slightly more that 4K that Medicare paid for the first month hospice.
For grant money, those are usually packaged as CBDG funds that run through your COG (Council of Government). COG are regional planning bodies who work and combine funding from all sorts of sources to underwrite community based development grants (CBDG's). COG's are the ones who have the "Area on Aging" or Area Council on Aging. This site has listings of them by state. Some COG's are small while others huge and have clinics etc. By & large you as an individual don't apply for a grant but would be a reciepient of a grant written and done by others (like the COG). Grants to individuals are usually done as a disaster recovery program to rebuild a home or business destroyed and with some type of covenant on the property or business.
Some cities (over 40 cities) have an OASIS program. Oasis is a non-profit based in St Louis, that provides a wide range of services. In my mom's city, they have a huge facility adjecent to a NH with lots of programs for seniors. Really seems to depend on the city and what partnerships they have. But if you are in an OASIS city, I'd call them too.
All of these require that they show a documented need for a service whether it's medical or financial. Good luck.
