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.

Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I had major foot surgery 4 months ago. 2 months spent in bed or on the couch--totally non-weight bearing. I could slowly do a few things, but rolling around a grocery store? Nope. Sending DH to the store meant at least 2 hours of him trolling the aisles and calling me 10 times with ??. Then he'd forget half the stuff anyway.
My girls 'gifted me' one grocery delivery and I was in heaven! Yes, there is a fee to shop, and I tip well, but still, I am spending far less than I did when I randomly shopped. AND they delivered AND a couple times they came in and unpacked it all for me (tho they are not supposed to do that).
I have only been in a grocery store twice in four months and although I am basically completely healed---I probably will never go back to doing my own shopping. esp as snow and ice are heading our way.
If you're not familiar with locating local resources, here are some suggestions.
1. Post in your profile your general area, city and state, or just your state if you're concerned about revealing too much personal information. Someone may live in your area or state and know of specific sources in addition to the AAA which might provide help.
2. Check with your local Senior Center. One in our area leases 2 small buses for various needs: medical, shopping, etc. They can best tell you what might be available in your area. Or they may be able to include you in the shopping trip circuit with other people unable to do their own shopping.
3. If groceries are your prime or only concern while you're apparently recovering, you might want to contact local stores and find out what their delivery arrangements are. ShipT shoppers are in one of the big grocery stores everytime I go, SmartPhone in hand, and conferring with someone who asked them to shop for him/her.
You could probably make other arrangements besides SmartPhoning, such as e-mailing your shopping list and being available by phone if the person has questions (which some of them do, as I've seen folks making selections of products about which they've asked other shoppers - no problem in that though.)
4. My local county has a very good list of sources of help for seniors. So, check your county, either online or by phone to see if they can help.
This is a forum for caregivers. Aging Care does not provide workers. Contact your Area Agency on Aging by phone. They can tell you how to get this assistance in your area.
