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.

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:
Just another system from where I live, is governed by the government subsidy which stops immediately. The institution has to get the room cleared out and re-let almost immediately, as finances are knife-edge. Arranging for the body to be removed and then cleaning all belongings out of the room on the same day or early morning the next day, is really quite stressful, especially if you are not expecting it.
Assuming she’s in under a private pay contract with her as the signor for the admission contract, after she dies, if there are any bills or other charges for her, those should become debts against her estate. The NH will have to bill her estate (and file whatever document to probate once that is opened) or try to get family to pay them.
If she’s a Medicaid LTC resident, their reimbursement daily payment to the NH stops the day she dies and there is no additional R&B bill paid. If on Medicaid, the monthly copay has been paid and should be returned for unused days once Medicaid closes out her account.
If she was on Medicaid, there too likely was a personal needs allowance account at the NH for her and that $ should be released via check to whomever ever was on file for her at the NH in their name. It too technically becomes an Asset of her estate.
if you can try to have any checks issued in your name and you sign them over to the funeral home to,pay towards her funeral real costs. This way it never commingles with your own personal bank account.
Most hospitals and nursing homes charge for the First Day (or Day of Admission to the facility) and then do NOT charge for the Last Day (or the Day of Discharge from the facility).
If you paid for 30 days for the month and your Loved One died on Day 22, then the nursing home will charge you for 21 days and reimburse you for any remaining days (Day 22 to Day 30) that you have already paid for.
For example, my Mom was charged for the day that she was admitted to the nursing home (even though she was admitted at 4:30 PM); and was NOT charged for the day she died (even though she died at the end of the 24-hour day at 8:30 PM.) Thus I paid for 16 days of care for September because Mom died on September 17, 2018.
You pay ahead. So if Mom passes this month, you have already paid for the month. You owe nothing. You may be entitled to a refund for days or services not being used. SS will stop.
