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:
What does his mother want? Will she be buried in Tennessee? Does anyone have family supports in Tennessee? Do you already have housing and a job there? You mention that you want to move, is there a need to move there now?
Medical transport by ambulance is how it is done, costing around $15,000, or call to get an estimate.
Can you just leave her in hospice and go there by yourself, your boyfriend joining you later?
Would you or he have to travel back at some time to close up the house or sell it?
It is a smart thing to run this plan by the forum members here, and I am sure for you a difficult decision. I don't think it is such a rare occurence to be looking to move someone, perhaps closer to her family of origin?
Sure that I haven't covered all the scenarios, can you give more information?
Getting on with your lives is a common quandary for caregivers. Can you let us know how this works out for your boyfriend's mother? Are you doing the caregiving?
You'd like your friend's dying mother to be closer to where you live, is that it?
Would his mother be able to travel more than 2,000 miles? How do you intend to get her there? I think that is the first consideration. If she is not able to travel, there is no point in thinking about this further.
Does his mother want to move to Tennessee?
Is she on Medicaid and will she continue to need Medicaid assistance? If so, changing states would be complicated, since she'd have to apply for Medicaid in Tennessee.
Her Medicare coverage that pays for the hospice care would be good in TN.
What is the mother's prognosis? My husband died within 5 weeks on hospice care. It would not have been worthwhile to move him 2000+ miles for such a short time. Some people continue on hospice care many months. No one can accurately predict when a patient will die, but I think it would be good to talk to the hospice nurse about their expectations and also to discuss whether this woman would be able to travel so far.
This is a very difficult position to be in. I wish you the best.
