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.

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:
My brother n law just got my mother to put my sister on all her accounts and remove all her savings without my knowledge. Now he's harassing me to transfer back a cd that I did online for my mother but doesn't mature until one more month. If I do it now there is a 492 penalty. Do I have any legal rights? I was the sole caregiver for 4 yrs now they've taken over with a vengence
Kiki: You definitely need legal advice. The legal term is "undue influence" and if your brother-in-law has exercised that to the benefit of your sister and himself, you need to take action.
Typically, if you are listed on an account as titleholder, you cannot just be taken off without your permission. If you are in a will or the beneficiary of an IRA, pension, savings account, CDs or other types of financial products (POD) Payable on Death, your mother has the legal right to make those changes without your permission if she has legal capacity.
If you have any doubt about what's happened, now is the time to rectify it, not after your mother is gone. Consult an attorney, give them the facts, and see what they say you can do. There are a lot of legal and emotional issues surrounding what you're facing: it's good you're aware of what's happening, take advantage of that and act now.
If you don't know a good attorney in your area, call your state's Bar Association and ask for the Lawyer Referral Service. They might also refer you to your local Bar Association if you live in a metropolitan area.
Also, be sure your mother has a Will, a Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney, Advanced Medical Directive and any other documents your attorney recommends in your state. You definitely need to call an attorney ASAP. Many referral attorneys will offer a an initial consultation at a reduced rate.
Hi Lady M., If u done the CD on your own, they cannot make u cash it in. If you r the poa that will stop after the person passes away.If you r the guardian, u can make all the decisions. Iam a caretaker for my husband, I went thru all this down to the social security office. No matter what i decide his family can`t do anything.All u need to do is go to ss and they will lead u in the right direction.U just have to start saving reciepts for the money u spend on her. My husband puts my name on his accts. as jointly. If and when he passes no one can touch it. I hoped i helped u out. God Bless U and all the caretakers out there. U can`t let other people walk in and try to take over. STAND YOUR GROUND.
