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.

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:
OP, your profile says you live in LA County, one of the most expensive counties to live in. Your username indicates that you are 61. Being that you are on SSI, you already are getting free services that most people don't get.
If you want a new bed/mattress? Craigslist. Drive your motorhome over to whoever is upgrading their mattress and get theirs. Don't expect a new one.
Antenna? It's not on society to pay for you to watch TV. As an SSI recipient, you already are eligible for a free phone, which you can hotspot to get Internet.
Furnace and water heater? Your electric company might be able to help with that. If they don't, then consider moving to someplace that has a communal shower system or such. You're in LA County. I seriously doubt you will freeze to death.
Park that thing in an R.V. Park or Mobile Home Park and use their showers, and facilities. Yes, pay the rent even if you will use 60-70% of your income, imo.
If that is your only and primary residence, you will have an address this way, and can apply for IHSS (In home Supportive Services), through your Senior Center/Area Agency on Aging.
Don't know your situation, but it sounds so close to homelessness, you need to take action now to protect yourself and your future.
Make an application for senior disabled housing (apartment), there is a waiting list. Be ready to give up your motorhome lifestyle, it may be standing in the way of you getting some real help and seems a cheap way to live, but it's not.
Contact your local HUD office, Dept of Social Services, or the Housing Authority. There are emergency housing vouchers for the homeless. Based on what you described to be your living circumstance, you would qualify for a voucher.
Contact Social Services for your county (online at the Dept of Health and Human Services section). It won't be Federal aid, but state or local aid. Since this is a global forum, we can't give more specifics than that.
Check with your SSI caseworker, Kjk. Often they have access to low income help or charitable help. For instance in my own city the Chronicle, our Newpaper, has a Season of Sharing Fund that they administer free of charge, funds of which are given to charities in cases of application of need. May be for just about anything. I wish you good luck, and hope you find help, esp. for heating.
Chron's season of sharing is for people with kids mostly, or people who are actually homeless. Not for people who might have a motorhome that they're presumably paying rent for. If they don't, oh well, they are at least housed for now.
They're going to be low-priority compared to the rest of these people, particularly the single adult population.
