"We made the big move for Mom and Dad last weekend. My husband, Jim and I were over there yesterday afternoon and they seem to be adjusting to their new surroundings very well. I can't say enough about Catherine at Elim Shores. She is genuinely a caring person and so helpful. I think we made the right choice for Mom and Dad and appreciate all the help A Place for Mom was in us finding Elim Shores."

"You have helped us both tremendously during the time that we were beginning to look for a place for Dad. I truly did not know where to start. And you saved me hours of research, phone calls and visits by telling me which places would be able to care for Dad and his needs. I appreciated you contacting the homes and having them call me. It took a lot of the pressure off of me."

"I want to thank you for all your hard work and most importantly, your support. I really would have been lost without you. Mom is having a few (itsy,bitsy) second thoughts, but for the most part is feeling very positive about the move--a far cry from where we were a month ago. "
