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.

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.

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.

Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
As a stair lift dealer, I have seen very few organizations pay for a stair lift. There have been a few times when the Multiple Sclerosis Society has pitched in $500 towards the cost. The most support I have seen is the local government agencies - Council on Aging. The process can be fairly long and will require you to get three quotes. There is NO NEED for anyone to come to your house for a "Survey". Any dealer worth his salt has seen hundreds of staircases just like yours. 99% of homeowners have nothing unique. Simply describe the steps/landings if any and a quote can be e-mailed to you instantly.
The only government agency that will help with costs is the Veteran's Administration. Other than that, you are on your own. Stair lift costs have come down in the last few years. You can check:
My neighbor was needing a scooter, but NOTHING was happening. Contacting the scooter company helped because they want the sale. Then, the doctor orders the needed medical equipment, maybe with an Rx for Medicare to approve. Patient needed to make a separate appointment. Pushing for follow-up with the doc, calling the company to push for follow-up yielded the scooter delivery. Patient paid for the upgrade, but I was not privy to the financial details.
Be brave, move downstairs until you can get the needed equipment. There is no shame in living downstairs, imo.
Certain charities dedicated to the disabled can help. Maybe contacting the United Way may help you?
