Our Services

A Place for Mom is a senior housing and care marketing and information service that provides resources and personalized assistance in finding senior housing and care. We help families find options based on a loved one’s stated needs and preferences and empower them to make informed decisions. This may include independent living, home care, residential care homes, assisted living, specialized memory care and skilled nursing. Based on the family’s stated needs and preferences, we provide the family with information about contracted communities (“Participating Communities”) and we forward the family’s information to those Participating Communities. Families can review detailed information about local and national Participating Communities, and get personalized, knowledgeable assistance by telephone from a local Senior Living Advisor. The service is offered at no charge to families as the Participating Communities pay a fee to APFM.

Participating Senior Housing and/or Care Communities

The Participating Communities are solely responsible for evaluating, accepting (or declining, as appropriate), and caring for all residents, including, without limitation, ensuring that their staff are appropriately qualified, current on education, and possess the necessary facilities, resources, and equipment to competently provide the services and care required by its residents. Each Participating Community is responsible for the conditions at its community and the training of and acts and omissions of its employees, contractors, vendors, and any other individual who works at or for a community.

Further, we are not a representative of or agent for either the consumer or the Participating Community and do not act on either’s behalf. It is the responsibility solely of the Participating Community and the potential resident, and/or the potential resident’s family and care provider(s) and/or other involved parties acting on the potential resident’s behalf to determine if any person is an appropriate admission to the Participating Community.

NEITHER YOU NOR WE CAN BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Waiver of Right to Jury Trial

YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THE TERMS OF USE AND/OR APFM’S PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM HEREUNDER.

Claims Subject to Mandatory and Binding Arbitration

Subject to and without limiting the Governing Law and Forum Selection section, you expressly agree that any claim or cause of action that arises from, relates to, or has connection with the Sites and/or Services shall be adjudicated exclusively and finally by arbitration in Seattle, Washington, administered by the American Health Lawyers Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Service under its Rules of Procedure for Arbitration (available at http://www.healthlawyers.org).

Waivers Not Applicable in Washington State

To the extent such provisions are not allowed or we otherwise state in writing to you that such provisions of the Terms of Use are not intended by us to apply to you, waivers of liability and rights by certain individuals do not apply under Washington State law and therefore the waivers of liability and rights set out in the Terms of Use may not apply to you if you are a Washington State resident or to the extent you are seeking Services in Washington State.
