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:
If the client pays you, then not paying you could be a sign of serious decline in cognitive function. Find out if she has a POA or contact family to make a visit, perhaps she is needing more care. Take three days off, announcing you will return after she pays you. This is unacceptable.
You are also going to need $125 per week starting January 1st for 2018. Since you are not a credit lending entity, you are unable to extend credit. Have her write a check, to be cashed when she says she has the money, say you will hold it. Then, make an appearance at the bank to check on funds availability.
Dlbartels2, could you give us more information. You mentioned "they" pay you $75 per week. Who is "they"? The patient or the family? What type of work do you do for the patient, and what are the patient's health issues? What type of care do you do for the dogs? Do you need to take them out for a walk? Clean up and yard after them?
To me $75 per week is quite low, even though you do have room and board. How will you be able to save for your own future on $3,900 per year. Is that before payroll taxes or after?
You would do much better working for a caregiving Agency that is licensed, bonded, insured, and has workman's comp in case you should get hurt on the job. I bet your patient doesn't have workman's comp for you.
Have you reminded them to pay you? If you haven't, then do that.
Unless you have some place else to stay, you need room and board here for the time being. I recommend you start looking for a different job right away. Once you find another place to stay, then you can walk away from this job.
A roof over your head comes first, you don't want to be homeless. But do look for another job ASAP.
I'd call Adult Protective Services and tell them that you have not been paid for work in 5 weeks so you assume that means you are fired after the 4th week. Tell them that you are moving out on date, and that you are giving notice to the family as well. That you think the client needs a wellness check after you move out.
