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.

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:
Try NextDoor. I found someone to work only Sundays posting on there. You can be very specific about hours and number of days. . But you need to check references. That’s important.
I would start with checking with your place of worship as they often have volunteers that will come sit with their members if needed. You can also check with your local Senior Services and Area Agency on Aging to see if they're aware of any programs that offer that. Or perhaps even a family member would be so kind to help you out.
Is he eligible for Hospice? If so, they have volunteers built in. I'm a hospice volunteer, and this is basically exactly what I do…visit for a few hours while the caregiver goes out. My current client is in her 90s and has memory loss but she's not exactly dying. She's just quite old with some memory issues. Hospice accepted her as a client (usually, the requirement is 6 months or less to live, no longer trying to cure the disease). I've been with my person more than a year.
This is not a caregiver employment website. You should try care.com or even NextDoor and put up a profile stating exactly what you're looking for, when the times will be, and what the pay is.
Here's an example. Every Thursday from 12pm-2pm and you're offering $25 per hour. Then you state very honestly and specifically what you want from the caregiver. If all you're looking for is someone to sit and watch tv and talk to him for two hours, that is what you will get. If you also require toileting, possibly changing him if there is an 'accident', feeding him lunch, etc... you have to make sure the person you hire knows all of this.
I was an independent caregiver for a long time before going into business. You will never have to pay someone $100 an hour. That's ridiculous nonsense. In fact you may not even need to hire a caregiver at all. Does your city or town have a Senior Center? Or an adult daycare center? These places could also be an option for you if you're only looking for two hours twice a month.
Burnt, many people won’t get into commute mode to make a mere fifty dollars twice a month. Most agencies as you know require a four hour minimum for them to feel it’s worth it, too.
There is most likely four hours of work weekly anyway.
That is too little time to make it worth it for someone to have to commute back and forth unless you’re willing to pay them 100/hr as an Indy. You would get more willing people at 25/hr for four hours off care.com.
