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.

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:
I'm a caregiver doing in-home care fearing retaliation w/ this client's DPOA if I ask any questions. I'm seeing what looks like a packaged methodology. -Every unscrupulous act you are warned of/ I can think of has been checked-off (besides credit card fraud, only because she has none!) The other two adult children live out of state, so when I see this DPOA hauling away an RV, boat clothes, furs, antiques, silverware ??? So unjust. I have never encountered a more callous fright-of-a-person. The client definitely is affected but clearly scared to complain. I'm curious if the kids can demand accounting or is this considered burglary? Should I make a call so things can be documented before disappearing. They appear grinning in a new sportscar like they are intoxicated, or at least high on power? I'm only three years in so I can only look on in horror. My live-in quarters are so bare I sort of feel like I am in the same jail as my CL. Thankfully I can escape home to my puppies! This town has wealthy people and extremely poor people. There is no middle class and accordingly Law Enforcement only speaks of stabbings and home invasions. What is this? The film The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey w/ Samuel L. Jackson comes to mind, but no protagonist yet! Thank you for reading my post.
Candace444, welcome to the forum. We need more information, please, such as if your client has dementia? Do you stay 24 hours with this client, as you had mentioned you have a home elsewhere?
It could be the POA is removing items that your client no longer needs, unless your client is still able to enjoy a boat ride or a trip in her RV. It could be possible these items are being sold so that you can get paid, and for future savings if your client needs to move to a nursing home, which is expensive. Example, my Dad was paying $12k per month for my Mom's care when she went into a nursing home.
You cannot conceivably have any details here, that I can imagine. If you suspect elder abuse by a POA and you feel you have suffcient proof do tell APS what proof you have, and that your client has expressed fear to you as regards her POA children. Be ready to move on to another client. You are there three years. Your report may be held in secret but I would imagine, given your serious dislike of the client's POA who is in charge of her care and your employment, that you may be fired.

Just food for thought.

Be ready to move on to another client. You are there three years.
