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.

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:
My uncle needs a hip replacement too but hopefully can return to work. We need to get her help at home but don’t have cash to cover this, anyone gone through this, any recommendations?
How is grandma's day to day care handled while Uncle is at work?
Short term, what you are looking for is called "respite care".
Is grandma eligible for hospice? Hospice will often cover a week or so of respite so that the caregiver can recharge. Is uncle going to be going to rehab after surgery?
Long term, is grandma being cared for by uncle, who is aging himself sustainable?
Each state has different resources available. Try calling Las Vegas Area Agency on Aging. See what services are available in your GMs area. Here is the website. http://adsd.nv.gov/
Here is a home health agency that you can call. https://www.lasvegashomehealthcareinc.com/index.html
Discuss with them your gms info and see what they advise.
Here is a list of over 100 agencies in the Las Vegas Area. https://www.caring.com/senior-care/home-health-agencies/nevada/las-vegas
If your GM has Original Medicare and she is basically homebound, she may qualify for home health. This is a weekly check of vitals, setting up pills. Little more than that. If she qualifies for this much, then a bathing aide is also available as well as physical therapy BUT she must first need nursing care, but less than full time nursing care. It’s a narrow window but call one or two of these agencies and they will tell you if your GM qualifies. It requires a doctor’s order but they will help you get the order if she is eligible. This however, is very limited help. Probably not enough if your uncle is going to be in the hospital. If your GM qualifies for Medicaid by being indigent, then she might qualify for more care than original Medicare offers. Once you start calling these agencies you will learn what services are available and the requirements. I find the help my aunt gets from original Medicare very helpful. Each situation is different so you need to just dive in and see what you can find her. Good luck.
