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.

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:
Yes, they can. I hope you read your contract before signing b/c I bet there's a non-compete clause in there.
Yes, it's frustrating b/c most elder care businesses pay only minimum wage and you can't work over 31-1/2 hrs or they have to offer health care coverage, which few want to do.
If you want to 'help' someone else, it's really none of the CG company's business, except that with a no compete cause, you're breaking the rules of your contract.
If CG paid better, more qualified people would be in it for a career. I only needed PT work and it was perfect for me.
One of my co-wokers refused to sign the contract and insisted that she be able to freelance. They were so desperate for help they allowed her to do this. But she had to realize that any injuries, being bonded etc., would not be compensated by her 'main' company. She was the only one, and she was amazing.
Yes they can. In these type of jobs there is something in your contract with the agency or in the contract with the client. You should have an employee handbook or something you signed when hired.
This is a different situation in that the AL is the client, not the resident. I would be careful because it could mean your job. I guess you could quit and then get hired by the resident since, as I said, the resident it not the client.
I think it's ridiculous that employers who offer erratic, part time work also expect their employees to be available at the drop of a hat, almost every person in that position who actually has bills to pay must juggle 2 or more jobs. IMO other than reducing your availability private care in no way competes with your role as a temp employee so I vote don't ask don't tell - nobody needs the details of why you aren't able to pick up a shift.
Maybe. What do the contracts say? Is there a non-compete clause in your contract with the agency? Does the resident’s contract have an onerously high fee if they (or their agent) hire you directly?
I would expect the agency to have a conflict with your reduced availability even if you worked with the client somewhere other than the facility. So even if the contracts don’t directly thwart you, you’ll have to weigh the value of the direct job against the agency job, in case they take it so far as firing you for cutting them out.
