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.

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:
Yes, here we are. There may of course be more specific to you groups, but we have Canadians and folks from the UK along with the US. We know what it's like to be in your shoes. It is a hard lonely place to be, so I sympathize. We have a lot of people taking care of their spouses here who come to vent or ask questions etc.
We have similar situations here in the US during at home hospice care or right after release from a rehabilitation center and someone comes in, does the bath and goes. Even though someone else is doing the bath, I found it was still a lot of work for me anyway. I still had to collect everything and despite the professional nature of things, it was still someone coming into the house, so it was like a guest visiting. I found out all kinds of things about the people's lives, because I was not seeing a lot of other people at the time either. So it's weird. You're alone, but then there are people there who aren't friends, but doing something very intimate in your home.
There are so many people doing this that it is strange indeed that most of us are lonely while it's going on. It is isolating from the rest of the world. I hope you will share some more of your story.
You can chat here any time. We are a group of caregivers who share our experiences, our struggles, and give one another tips and advice.
While you are waiting for a LTC bed, you might try calling a hospice provider, who will come to the house. She would be evaluated to determine whether she qualifies for hospice care. This could bring you some relief.
Also, consider hiring a CNA from a home care agency to provide help. This is too much for you to be doing on your own.
Thank-you, I am in Ontario Canada, are there members here that are in Ontario? I have a PSW that comes in twice a week for an hour to give my wife a sponge bath but they are in and out quickly. I am getting fairly lonely to be honest as I can't get out and my wife really can't communicate in any meaningful way. I was hoping that there might be some sort of chat groups for folks in my same situation that can at least socially interact with others who get it.

Hopefully your wife will get an opening in a LTC soon. Good luck!
