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:
Do not deposit into her account. If she is unable to pay bills at this time and has depleted her funds why not apply for Medicaid now. The process will take a while anyway. If there is a look back that you are concerned about what difference does it make if you have to provide cash for that or provide cash to pay her bills. In either case you will be expending cash. Talk to a Senior Services Agency or if you have an Elder Care Attorney talk to them about how best to help out. I think if you begin depositing money into her account it will look like a revenue stream that might be taken into account during the application process.
I rarely say this on this site, but you DO need an attorney. Your goal must be to keep the 'family home' next door as your property and to keep Mom living there too. I think this can only be done with your private money to try to survive the 5 years total since she gifted that property to you. In some states, its seven years by the way. You are believing that Medicaid could kick in and pay for her care at a facility at that time right? How old will she be then? How good of a long term plan is this anyway? Is it likely to work out as you imagine it?
It's a long story but we have a QCD that is 3 years old. Need to wait until 5 years so they don't take the house. It's actually attached to our house through the well and septic. We paid the mortgage too but she wanted her name included on the deed. When we realized the issues this would cause we removed it however she got sick shortly after.
One idea is instead of depositing money into her account, pay some bills directly with the money you would have deposited. Was she or her spouse a Veteran? If so, apply for veterans benefits if this hasn't been done
Bob is right. Call your Area Aging Agency. They can recommend a good Elder Attorney. They were both a tremendous help to me with my MIL. ASK AN ATTORNEY BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING !!!
Do it.Definately ,Consult attorney. ..Definately Do Not give cash to her account. make seperate account to pay any bills do not mingle money. Account in your name only . If you are providing care make a n agreement to do such from agreed upon amount..This will help with any pay down. The amt can go towatds any pay down.Do not call anything a loan that is considered an income too. doesnt make sence but is. Just pay anything out of account only for that, your name only. See if she qualifies for any utility financial assistance. If you can get a long term care insurance. Interview some attorneys.Most will give you a free consult. Ask a realestate attorney if they know elder attorney would personally use. best wishes
