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. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

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:
I'd suggest doing the questionnaires at benefits.gov and/or findhelp.org to see what resources are available to your guy. Generally, you'll come to the same resources from either. Both can point you to local agencies to assist with everything, including suitable housing.
Does he have the funds to afford a facility? 72 is fairly "young" to go into a facility long-term. I'm in MN and Medicaid only pays for LTC, which would be medically assessed by a doctor (usually a person is 100% bedridden and has profound physical problems).
I would start searching by joining Nextdoor.com. This local intranet gets you connected with non-anonymous neighbors in your community and they'll pour out all sorts of honest and currrent information. They will probably give you costs, too.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info specific to MN. I'm in the Twin Cities SW metro area. My MIL is in Presbyterian Homes out here 3 miles from my home (PH has many facilities in MN and are extremely well-run, with a long-standing excellent reputation).
Is this gentleman going to appoint you as his POA? Are you a family member? Did you get these forms from your state, off the internet, or other?
I myself would attend an elder law attorney with this gentleman. POA vary a whole lot, and dependent on his assets, his needs and his requirements those things will need to be individually written into the form in legalese. You need also to understand your own Fiduciary Duties well before taking all this on. They are legal duties of the highest requirements. If you do financial POA for him you will need to be accountable in black and white for every penny into and out of his accounts.
Have the two of you discussed what type of care is needed? I agree with others that he is quite young still. There is ALF, B&C, Independent Living. Much will depend upon assets. When they are spent down he may need to apply, with your help, for medicaid in your State.
There is a lot involved. One hour's time spent in an elder law attorney office will let you know what you are looking at.
Google will tell you what facilities are in your area and they will be pleased to show you two around, let you know what is available and you can discuss costs. When my brother, years ago, began looking for his ex-partner he used a service quite similar to A Place For Mom. You let them know assets and needs and they take you around to places that best match. They are paid by the facilities.
Try to take it one step at a time. A strong POA and a visit to an attorney is where I would start. I surely do wish you the very very best.
