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 had to sign up, just to ask a question? Wow. Some guy named Andy called me and told me there was charges against me. I figured this was a scam, but wanted to be sure.
Sign up for what? It is a scam! If there are supposed charges against you why would you have to pay to find out what they are? Makes no sense.
Call the authorities, police, attorney general, etc. Scams like this are quite common and they prey on the elderly. Your profile says this person works for APS? Call APS to report the calls and verify there are no charges.
If this person was/is with APS it may be that someone filed a complaint against you.
If you are your wife's caregiver someone saw something that concerned them and they have reached out to have the situation checked.
This can be a blessing for you. They can help you get help for you and your wife. Help you understand and utilize the resources available in your community.
They don't want to just take your wife and put you in jail, so don't worry about that. They want to make sure that everyone is safe and cared for.
Did Andy schedule a time to come out and talk to you? Did he leave a number for you?
You can Google the APS and call that number to confirm that it is in fact APS and he does work there.
As Glad and NeedHelp cautioned, there are scams attempting to gain information to access bank accounts, charge accounts, and probably now even the old tried and true "piggy banks."
One of the scams is a robocall claiming to be a warning of imminent arrest. There are others with the same robotic voice. If this were true, I would have been jailed long ago.
Some of these robocalls with the same voice also have identifiable nonnative American speakers, whether it's grammar or use of words. The one threatening immediate arrest is one.
Did you mark down the number? If so, search for it on Google. If it's an 800 number, look for the hit that's specially 800 numbers, such as 800.notes.com. I've found it to be the only searchable free source for checking out potential scam numbers. Other sources lure you in and then transfer to a page which requires providing your own personal info or money.

You don’t give ANY personal information to a stranger on the phone! If you did, report it to the authorities.
If you are your wife's caregiver someone saw something that concerned them and they have reached out to have the situation checked.
This can be a blessing for you. They can help you get help for you and your wife. Help you understand and utilize the resources available in your community.
They don't want to just take your wife and put you in jail, so don't worry about that. They want to make sure that everyone is safe and cared for.
Did Andy schedule a time to come out and talk to you? Did he leave a number for you?
You can Google the APS and call that number to confirm that it is in fact APS and he does work there.
Best of luck.
If there is, you can take it from there and ask advice about what you should do next.
If there isn't, it would be public-spirited of you to let them know that this is going on.
That's what I'd do, anyway.
