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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

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:
It depends on where you live and the services available. In my town, the senior services have a bus to grocery store every Wednesday, volunteer organizations with volunteer drivers and a senior center with volunteer drivers. Call your local town information center.
Nanacheryl, this is a research project for you. None of us can provide this information for your area w/o doing a lot of research.

transit assistance (agingcare.com)
Not all of the threads relate to your particular circumstances, but some do.
Your options could be public transit, small bus (point to point) transit, or even private services such as Lyft or Uber.
Another option is to contact your local Senior Center, and inquire what service options they might have. The one in my father's area leases 2 small buses, picks up residents and takes them to a grocery store, then returns at a given time for the return home. You would likely be riding with others, so if you're concerned about that in terms of Covid, this might not be an option.
I think that this is something you are going to have to explore in your own area with your own options. Do you have taxi and Uber and Lyft in your area? Do your stores make delivery after shopping or do the stores make delivery by phone or computer ordering? I know for my brother one of the main factors in deciding he would move to ALF was the fact he lived in Palm Springs; as he could no longer drive and didn't use computer or smart phones, he really had difficulty with shopping. Those who lived in his "village" sitation offered help but one hates to be dependent on others. I can only suggest you try and evaluate your own options. The need for ride services and for delivery raise the already bad expenses of food now exponentially. If you give the town and city you live in you may just have a Forum member who ALSO lives there stumble upon your post here, but that's unlikely. I sure do wish you luck. Hope you will update us on options and costs you find for your own area, as it might be of interests to others.
Contact your local area on aging and your department of transportation. Many areas have paratransit services and you will need to fill out an application.
Googlelocal charities and start calling them. Where I live, you can get a free ride from a volunteer 2xs a month.
This forum is for caregivers of aging or ill family and we don't offer services. You will have to reach out to the above resources in your community. Good luck finding the best service for your needs.
