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:
Check for charitable companion sitting in your area.
It is highly unlikely you will find anyone available at a phone call, mostly you have to schedule day and time for someone to be there. No spur of the moment moments for caregivers.
Have you contacted your local area on aging? They can help direct you to resources.
rhoadescr97, does your area have on-line groceries? My local grocery store is in partnership with what is called Peapod, where I go onto the Peapod website, do my grocery shopping, and the next day or so, I can either have the groceries delivered to my house or pick them up using curb side service. Walmart is now doing that, too. It has been a godsend using this type of service.
I see from your profile that your Dad has Alzheimer's/Dementia, and that your brother is taking care of your Mom. Your Dad probably confused why your Mom isn't there, and if you are not in the house, that can make him very nervous. It's probably to a point where your Dad should not be left alone.
There is also instacart, sounds like peapod is like instacart but instacart will deliver in a hour though. Also if you have Safeway, your local store may offer grocery delivery.
Do you have Uber in your neighborhood? If so you can utilize them.
Also call your county department of Aging to apply for county transportation. You have to apply for it and your fee to use the service is based on your income. Usually these services provide curb to curb transport; no driver will go to the door and get him as they have others who depend on that bus to get them to doctors appts, etc.
Supermarkets are now offering grocery delivery online and many folks are quite satisfied with it. There are additional fees attached according to need.
Some pharmacies still deliver medications. Or go mail order for prescriptions.
I'm in the UK, but I just googled home care services in your area and immediately found three agencies that offer the sort of support you want - "companion" or "companionship" is the category to focus on.
You might find this tricky, though, if you're an occasional or random user. Is there any way that you could rough out a weekly schedule and give yourself regular time out?
Are you looking for someone who could stop by and stay with him for a while? Where I live, Visiting Angels is a favorite amongst seniors and caregivers. My mom was getting ready to complete the applications when she was suddenly diagnosed with metastatic cancer. She never had the chance to use them but many of her friends did.

Then you could drop him off, go do your errands, and pick him up later.
