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:
This is an international forum of caregivers - people just like you - who share tips and advice, it's unlikely anyone here can help you but the site's home page may be able to connect you with care options through A Place For Mom. But first do not allow them to discharge her to her home - that would be and "unsafe discharge" (key words). You need to make sure the hospital social worker understands she has no caregivers so that she goes to rehab or nursing home.
FYI A Place For Mom is only interested if your LO needs AL.
Is your Mom going to rehab first? If so, this will buy some time (Medicare 3 days in hospital then 20 days in rehab).
Talk to a social worker at the hospital or for her county. From rehab she can go directly into a facility.
Are you or is anyone her PoA? If not, and she doesn't have a medical diagnosis of cognitive impairment, then you may not be able to control where she goes after rehab.
Not true, at the bottom of the home page are links to find In-Home Care, Independent Living Communities, Assisted Living Communities, Memory Care Communities, Nursing Homes. Or you can use the Find Care link on the top blue/green banner.
If there is no one who can care for her at home, they cannot release her. Its called an unsafe discharge. You need to call agencies near you for an aide. Talk to the SW at the hospital. Or, maybe its time to place Mom in an AL or LTC.
Is there a reason to think she will not be able to return to Hanley Manor?
If so, now is the time to have whomever will manage her care contact social services to let them know you cannot care for her and she will have to be placed in safe care, perhaps in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) to recover from this; broken ribs can be very painful.
If Hanley Manor is a care facility they may be able to care for her, but if it is Independant Living or only apartments, she will need more. So it is important NOW, while she is in Hospital, to call Social Services and let them know no one can care for Mom on discharge should she need help. Call them today and discuss this with them.
I am so sorry. I wish your Mom, and you also, such good luck. Tell her to try to take long slow deep breaths because broken ribs can cause us to "slint" our breathing, taking in tiny little breathes. This can lead to pneumonia, a complication that would cause painful coughing.
I wish the very best for your own health. Have friends or family help you negotiate this with hospital social workers.
