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:
Contact an outpatient clinic, ask for the eligibility department and ask how to determine what might be available for the spouse.
You could also contact the service organizations such as American Legion or VFW; they have specific branches that do help veterans qualify for care. They would probably be able to help you the most.
Another alternative is to contact the county offices for your area and ask if they have any veterans affairs departments to help veterans and/or spouses qualify for assistance.
Some state congressmen/women publish a brochure that's about 70 - 80 pages and is very helpful. You could call your local representatives and ask if they have such brochures. Sometimes they can also be found at senior centers.
Whatever you do, don't contact commercial organizations pretending to assist veterans; they may tell you that they don't charge, but they will ask for personal financial data to restructure any asset portfolio you may have, and put your funds into financial products that allows them to charge for those services.
You can apply for VA aid and attendance benefits. Check with local va office as there are income limitations. If you check my profile page you will find a link where i wrote out the process i used to get moms benefits in 3 months. Hope the best for you and your family. Ruth Anne
veteransfinancial website This is not the VA but an approved company that helps you with the application and making sure all the i's are dotted and t's crossed.
JoAnn , Veterans Financial Services is a for profit company. It's a "private financial service company" according to its website.
The veterans' services charities provide a range of services and don't need to know the specifics of a veteran's assets. I calculated them and just provided the total; no one asked to see anything beyond that.
But the charities also aren't interested in restructuring a veteran's portfolio.
I hope you didn't pay this company anything to handle your application process??
I went to a seminar. I got the impression they didn't charge for services. Thanks for the info. I never would have paid for the service since I thought it was free. In working, I have worked with goverment contracts and if things aren't done just right, we didn't get paid.
I was told by the VA that it is illeagle to charge someone to fill out va applications. I am just telling you want the VA told me. We applied for aide and attendance for mom and she got her first check in less than 3 months. If anyone is interested in the process i used, please message me and i will give you a link to my site where i spelled it all out step by step. The motorator will not let me mention the link in a thread so you will have to message me, but i will help in any way i can. Ruth Anne
