Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

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:
In the N/H where I briefly went for rehab I was in a shared room and there was room for two beds and a recliner beside each bed. There was room to push a wheelchair past the foot of each bed. The shared bathroom was just a toilet and hand basin. I was taken to a communal shower but did not stay long enough to see the bubble bath I was promised the following week. There was a line of closets at the end of the room but no chance of a resident bringing in their own furniture. To be fair I never saw any of the rooms occupied by full time residents. This place had the reputation of being the best in the area and was where I picked up an infection in my newly replaced hip joint requiring another surgery and six weeks of IV antibiotics.
Shyamk, that can vary from facility to facility. Many nursing home facilities have two patients per room thus the space where my Mom resided felt like it was 9'x12' for each patient, plus a large en-suite bathroom.
Now, in an Assisted Living, the patient usually has a private room, and where my Dad lived it felt like 12'x12', with an en-suite small bathroom, and a small kitchenette area.
Check the nursing home and Assisted Living websites, as usually they will show a floor plan of the different rooms.
Are you asking because you need to plan where to put furniture? Or because you suspect a facility is falling short?
