The Search for Senior Care...
Simplified and Free

"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."

"Mom is doing great at Carestone. She's eating a lot better and enjoying all the activities they do every day. The people are great. It means a lot knowing she's being so well taken care of. Thank you for all your hard work in finding such a great place. I know that I could not have done this without you."

"Thanks for all your help, you made a difficult proposition a lot easier! You found that needle in a haystack that would have taken me many times longer to find on my own. Kudos to your service!"

"Thanks to you and the wonderful people at Brittany House, mom is really doing great. There has been so much peace in my soul since she moved in that a friend said she could see it on my face. A Place for Mom was just what I needed at the right time and was more than I could have hoped for. Every question was answered, a wonderful selection was offered, and everyone I spoke with was very kind and helpful. Everything was done with the best of intentions to help in finding just the right place for my mom and I couldn't be more pleased."

"Dad moved into The Village and the transition has gone better than I could have imagined. He is really thriving. He is more stimulated and carries on more conversations with me. He willingly participates in so many activities. I feel confident that he is eating well, being mentally engaged and enjoying the company of his contemporaries. I feel a huge sense of relief! Thank you!"

"Mom is settled in and everything seems to be going well. The move went surprisingly well, including the 9-hour car ride. The staff at Greenville Place have all been wonderful and very helpful. Your help in identifying places for me to investigate was terrific!"

"I could not be more pleased with how mom is doing at Sunrise and their setup. When I talk with her, she sounds happier than I can ever remember. She is receiving physical therapy twice a week, has had appointments with her new doctor, is getting her hair done with out arguments and in general sounds more with it. I appreciate your help in finding Sunrise. This has turned out to be the right place for her."

"I can't tell you how relieved I am that I found a central location in "A Place for Mom" to help me narrow the search for assisted living for my mother. More importantly, my family and I are exceedingly happy that we found an individual who was caring and as interested in finding "just the right place" for our mom. Thank you so much for all your help!"

"I would like to thank you for all your help. I still cannot believe so much was accomplished in such little time. After three weeks of banging my head against a wall, thanks to your help, it all suddenly fell into place."

"I appreciate all of you help in finding a caregiving service. I truly was struggling with this issue when my Mom was in the hospital. Golden Homes has been great. They are just what I needed. I cannot thank you enough for helping me through this difficult time."

"Many thanks! We are transfering mother to Brittany House. My family and I are very pleased. You have saved time and money I could not have done it without your help."

"Just a quick note to add an additional thanks to your help in finding a home for my Mom. She has been there almost two months now. St. Philomena's has proved to be the perfect place for her. I have NEVER witnessed such compassion and care unless someone is caring for their own parent. I really feel that God was guiding me when I was given a brochure regarding your services."

"I fully appreciate all of your help with this. You were professional, yet personable. You took care of my questions and concerns right away. You were full of information and passed it all on in a timely manner. You did a thorough job and I am willing to pass this information on to anyone else. Thank you for all of your help. It is not easy to move a loved one into an environment away from home."

"My sister and I are really pleased and think Magnolia Glen will be a wonderful place for our mother to flourish and have a better quality of life. I can't thank you enough for the tip that led us there! We would still be looking and considering options if it wasn't for you. Thank you!"

"You and your service were truly a life saver for our family. You helped to find the perfect home for John's mom and total piece of mind!"

"How can I ever thank you for all the information? A Place for Mom has been so wonderfully supportive and I am so thankful fo you."

"I sincerely appreciate your excellent services. I have appreciated your on-going contact and found your emails very helpful. You provide an excellent service to families. My sincere thanks!"

"I am so thankful for you and your services. I was so distraught when we first talked and as a result of your efforts a scary process was made easy. A Place for Mom is an incredible service and your thoughtfulness and caring manner was appreciated. Next week, my mom will be entering an assisted living facility. I am sure I am making the right decision. I could not have made an informed decision without your assistance. Thanks again for the referrals, your compassion and timely follow-up."

"Thanks for all your help and concern. You have been so wonderful and given so much information and direction. My Aunt and I would have been lost without you."

"You indeed rescued me when I was searching for a place for my Aunt. I was amazed at your efficiency, pleased that you prodded me forward by arranging all the visits and then managed to get the place at Heather Heights held until I could straighten out all the issues involved. You were indeed my rescuer."

"I was not prepared for everything that we have had to do and neither were my children, but once I talked to you and learned about "A Place for Mom" it made what had to be done much easier. I truly can't thank you enough. Your group has been a fantastic resource for us. I will always refer anyone that I hear of that is in our situation, to call "A Place for Mom"."

"Thank you for the article. It’s very informative. I also want to update you regarding my mom. She was discharged today, and moved into Oyster Bay. After feeling very anxious in the morning, she seemed to be feeling more excited about it. The staff welcomed her warmly and I feel confident we chose the right place for her. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you so very much for your help. Your guidance and support have been a blessing for me. Thank you again."

"I can't think of anything else you could have done and I would certainly recommend family & friends to contact you for assistance. You are personable and easy to work with. When a person doesn't know where to turn, it's wonderful that "A Place for Mom" [and Dad] is easily accessible. Thanks again, for all your help."

"Wow! I am so impressed with your timely and very thorough response to my inquiries about assisted living facilities for my mother. I already received a call from Lamar Court and Villa Ventura in Kansas. The info you provided gives me everything I need to begin my search for the right place for Mom!"

"Thank you so much for the information. I look forward to visiting the facilities you passed along. I appreciate your assistance and guidance. I am feeling very confident about this entire process largely due to your help!"

"My father has improved by leaps and bounds! My mother is adjusting to the change, but I think she will be fine considering how bad her dementia is. You were very thoughtful and kind and instructive. I will always recommend your service to my friends and family in times of need."

"I just wanted to let you know that I was able to get my Dad placed at Richfield Health Center yesterday! It never would have happened without your help! I want you to know that my family and I are TREMENDOUSLY grateful to you for the work that you do! I know you probably chalk it up to another day at work, but you really do change the lives of people with your knowledge and compassion for others, and it is really appreciated! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Again, you have saved the day! Golden Living Center in Edwardsville is going to take him on Wednesday. I appreciate all the effort that you have given Mr. Hayes. Thank you so very much. This is a very wonderful program that you have and I hope it always continues."

"You provided some very valuable advice and I really wanted to let you know that it meant so much to me and my family. Your organization is fantastic, and what you do - helping people help their loved ones - it is amazing. I cannot thank you enough."

"My mother moved into Legacies/Evergreen about two weeks ago and I am quite pleased with things, so far. Thank YOU for helping me find this nursing home; I had been completely unaware of it before you called."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my family and me in our time of crisis. I will not forget what you and A Place for Mom have done for us."

"Evelyn is enjoying the new home a lot better. You have helped us so much with everything and I can't express enough how much I have relied on your judgment and caring for all of us. You have given both my husband and I a wonderful outlook and piece of mind while in such a trying time in our lives."

"Thanks for all of your help. My grandma is really doing great at Summerville. You were such a big help to us."

"Words can't describe the appreciation that I have for what you did for me. You were really the only person who totally understood what I was going through and what I was trying to do."

"The transformation in Gertrude has been amazing. She is doing great at Autumn Meadows. The staff is wonderful. We are so fortunate to have been able to make Autumn Meadows her new home. Your help in accomplishing this has been truly outstanding. We would not have known where to start if it wasn’t for your help."

"Mom really likes it at Ohana Gardens. She is very happy with the staff and other residents. She likes the walks they take with her. It puts my mind at ease knowing that she is getting such good care. Thank you!"

"There are no words to express the level of appreciation I have for the service you provided in helping me find a place for my mother. Your caring way of offering and guiding us through this painful process will forever be remembered by me and my sisters."

"My brother is doing great. Elmcroft is really a wonderful place. My brother and I are working together to make his new home successful, and I have to say that Elmcroft has been very supportive. Your encouragement really helped get me through a difficult time."

"Mom really likes her new place. I went to visit her today and she said the caregivers are very nice and they take her out to exercise. She is very happy there. It is such a relief to finally not have to worry about Mom and how she is being treated. Thank you so much!"

"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."

"The service you provide to all of us is outstanding. When we were trying to find answers to questions about decisions for the care of a loved one and we didn't know where to turn, there you were with the answers."

"We appreciate all of the support and resources you supplied during this very difficult time and will refer anyone in need in the future to your organization. Thank you for your compassion during this process."

"Thank you for all your help. It is so nice to know there are caring people like you out there to help. We will certainly keep you in mind when it becomes necessary to put her in a nursing home long term."

"It looks like Mom and Dad are going to be moving. They made a deposit and are planning to move sometime in January. We are so excited about the idea of them being closer to us. I was really at a loss about which places to check until I contacted you. Thank you for all of your help!"

"Thank you so much for all your help in this journey that I've been on. You are truly a life saver and I think a real angel. I am so thankful that I found you."

"The combination of your expertise and kindness (not to mention your availability and fast response on a weekend) made this difficult decision so much easier for my mother! I am so grateful to you."

"A Place for Mom really filled a need for my family and me. As I mentioned to you, the fact the you provided me with several locations tailored to my aunt's and cousin's needs narrowed our search considerably. Also the information you provide with suggestions on how to deal with their doubts and fears is very useful. I am so appreciative for an organization such as yours!"

"Thank you for all your time this morning in assisting us in finding our Mother a nursing facility. We would have been lost without your help."

"It is such a blessing and a relief to have someone with experience to help guide us through this process. I found your web-site at 1 am on a Sunday morning as I desperately sought alternatives for my 90 year old father. Immediately after making contact, I slept better. I knew immediately that you were a caring person with the background and experience necessary to help us make a good decision. Thanks so much for your help!"

"I wanted to thank your organization for what it does, and especially commend you for the over-the-top assistance, support, and guidance provided in our search and transition. Six months ago, we were barely realizing the realities and challenges of my mom's memory loss condition. We had no clue as to how to go about identifying and evaluating prospective community solutions. Our situation was even more complicated due to the fact that my dad insisted on being able to stay with my mom through the transition, even though he is in "good" condition. After connecting with you, listening to your advice, experiences, suggestions and recommendations, we moved my folks from their old home of 52 years into their "new" home. Definitely an adjustment for all, but they are doing quite well and so is the rest of the family. Thank you!"

"I can't thank you enough for the time you spent with me and your words of wisdom. At a time when I was entering an unknown world, your guidance was invaluable and allowed me to make intelligent choices regarding my mother. I can't think of anything more that you could have done for me. You always returned my calls right away (even on Sunday), when I was desperate for information and advice. You were able to explain the ways of the hospitals, nursing homes, insurance, etc. Again, thank you...I don't know what I would have done without you."

"Thank you so much for your help in finding a place for my Mom. The Loyalton of Joliet had a room available and we already moved her things! She viewed the facility Wednesday during the lunch meeting that you set up. Again, thank you for your input."

"I can't express how much my family appreciates how quickly you helped us find a place for my father and, as luck would have it, also my mother. We never could have done what you have done for us in such a timely manner. I still can't believe it! Thank you ever so much for your thoughtfulness and time. Also, my father is thrilled to be going somewhere where he will see Yale graduates. He went to law school there."

"A Place for Mom is a real life saver; mother had fallen in excess of 15 times in the past year and when we took them on vacation with us Dad fell twice (that makes 3 times within 3 weeks) and Mom fell once. In the past year she has broken both wrists, one at a time. If it wasn't for A Place for Mom, I would still be at their beckon call, 24/7. I can't believe what two weeks of meals three times a day has made in their appearance. They both have pink cheeks and look much healthier. It's wonderful to know that you are there if I need you, your an angel!"

"I would never have been able to do this without you. You not only helped with endless searches, but also with the emotional aspect. Dealing with the guilt was very hard, but your advice, knowledge, and concern for the best solution helped more than you can imagine; not to mention, all the family related issues you helped with. You have really touched our lives in such a wonderful way. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"Thanks you so very much for the encouraging message; truly it is a real challenge being the caregiver for a family member; especially mom. Thank you for being there to help in times when I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. You have made my work a little easier knowing that I can call on you when I need to. It takes a very special person to be able to do the job in helping other people as you do; especially when families are experiencing traumatic times. I appreciate every minute, every hour, and every moment you took to talk with me and to help me in the manner that you did."

"Just to let you know that my family has selected a assisted living community for my mother. You have been instrumental in this very difficult process. All my friends have aging parents and I’ve emailed them your website. I can never thank you enough. THANK YOU so very much for all your efforts."

"Thanks so much for all of the information and assistance. A Place for Mom made locating an assisted living community for my father easier than I could ever have hoped. Dad is doing very well. This transition was so smooth for my Dad that he went through the entire move with no panic attacks. Change is a difficult thing for anyone and the older we are the tougher it is. Thank God for services like yours to help us."

"Your help and support means a lot to me, because it's hard to put into words what we are going through right now. I never thought I would have to go through something like this with my mom. It really helps to know there are organizations out there that care like this one. I just want you to know that you are a great help to us. Thank you so much for caring."

"It has been a week now that my mom has been at Sunrise. The care managers really give the residents individual attention. My brother and I are very happy that you led us to Sunrise. Thank you very much!"

"My family and I are eternally grateful for you and your services. Mom was admitted into the nursing home you referred. Your service has been a godsend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I wanted to extend a thank you from our family for your efforts to help us. You have been very helpful in guiding us through this process. You are a wealth of information. Thank you again, you were so helpful."

"To the wonderful people at A Place for Mom, I wish that we could give more than words of appreciation to Place for Mom! Thank you so much for the wonderful service that you provide for people in need! You were an answer to prayers that we hadn't even thought to pray!"

"Mom is starting to settle in. Thanks so much for your help. It was helpful receiving all the articles you sent and also your follow-up phone calls to check on things. I will certainly pass your name on if I meet up with anyone that needs similar assistance. Thanks again!"

"I found your service extremely helpful during a very difficult time for me. The information that you gave helped me research and find the best place for my mom due to her financial constraints. I have applied for the veterans benefits and hope that the processing of her application will not take months. Once again thank you for all your help. I will definitely recommend your service."

"I want you to know how much I appreciate the support and guidance you have provided these past few weeks. As you well know it is not a simple matter to uproot someone from a known environment and put them into a new one. I have faith that the few small bumps we have encountered so far will be overcome pretty quickly and that she will settle in and be happy at her new home. It is a very lovely assisted living community and everyone there seems eager to be supportive and helpful. Again, thank you!"

"I just wanted to say thanks for your wonderful service! I have placed my mother in the assisted living community in Orange you passed along. I chose this community because the staff and services seemed to be so personalized and interactive. I felt comfortable that my Mother would be encouraged and included with all of the activities and that the staff would go the extra mile to ensure that she participates and has optimal care. Anyway, thanks again. We are so delighted with the outcome and you made it all come about. Have a wonderful day"

"Thanks so much for all of your help. It was very much appreciated and made this difficult process a lot easier to deal with."

"You were such an important part of my being able to help and take care of Elaine in the way she deserved! Had it not been for you and your compassionate response to my request, I would have never found a home care option. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope that you don't mind that I freely give your contact info - usually with the disclaimer that you were a lifesaver - as many of my friends are facing the same challenges with their parents. Again, my thanks - you made a wonderful difference in our lives."

"I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help and support that you gave to me and my mother. Because of you, the whole situation was a lot less stressful than it could have been. Again, thank you. I will never forget your care and concern. You are the best!"

"Mom is doing incredibly well. The stroke has left her with very minimal language deficits. At this point, her primary difficulty is with very mild word finding difficulties. She is aware when this occurs and just moves on with the next thing. Thanks again for all of your help. Mom is living like a "queen" and we would never have found a home for her without you."

"Thank you for all you've done to help this transition go smoothly. Your skill and expertise was so greatly appreciated. There were several times we felt helpless or powerless and your encouraging words made a difference. Thank you so much."

"I cannot thank you enough for all of your help. I know I would have hit bottom soon if I had not been told about you. I cannot thank you enough."

"Thanks for your thoughtfulness. You were so helpful and saved us a lot of time and energy with all the information that you sent. If you had not mentioned the benefits from V.A., we would not have known that my mother-in-law would have any entitlements. Thanks for your assistance."

"Thank goodness for a Place for Mom. I feel much better knowing that my Mom is safe in a memory care unit that is more like a home. I strongly recommend A Place for Mom."

"Mom is very happy. It is coming up on the anniversary of my Dad's passing and she is feeling it, but we are all here to help her through it. I am so grateful for all the help you gave me in the past two to three years. Your information and responses were phenomenal and I would recommend you personally to anyone. Thanks again."

"I can’t imagine searching for senior housing options without A Place for Mom! You responded to our request for help immediately, and gave us great places to visit, each a little different, allowing us to compare and look for strength and weaknesses. So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I would highly recommend you to any of our friends who need help finding elder care."

"I want to thank you for the wonderful advice and assistance in helping us find the PERFECT assisted living community for our Mother. She saw the lovely room we had fixed up for her and she immediately changed her tone and mood and starting saying things like, “I feel like I'm in a fancy hotel, this is just too nice for me, I don't deserve it!” I will always be so grateful to you for the professional and personal advice and assistance."

"Because of problems with my father, I contacted A Place For Mom, and our local representative, contacted me immediately. She has been very helpful with my father's problems. We may have finally found the very best place for him, and I'm sure we could not have done it without the help of A Place For Mom. So, thanks for your great organization!"

"I want you to know how much I have appreciated your counsel and advice in our search for Alzheimer’s care over the past two years. We started this journey without any idea how to manage through it. With your help, the many articles and books I read, and just patience and God's help, we were able to provide for my mom in ways we did not expect. Thank you so much for your constant support."

"After speaking to you on the phone yesterday, I knew that I had struck gold. I could tell immediately that you were a caring and organized person that would find us exactly what we were after. My mother and I have explored one of the residential care homes and it is perfect! Thank you, thank you, and thank you. You have no idea what a blessing you have been and a relief to our entire family."

"Dad is at his new nursing home and everything is great! He actually knows a number of staffers there and was quite happy to see them. In fact, I heard him sing for the first time in a very long time. Your assistance was invaluable and I cannot say enough about A Place for Mom's involvement. What a wonderful service. Rest assured that everyone I know will hear about my experience."

"Thanks for being so caring and helpful. I have tell everyone that I meet about your website. As for my mother, she is hanging in there. Thanks again for your support."

"Thanks for the follow up! I never would have learned about my mom's new home if it weren’t for you."

"I appreciate your help and guidance in identifying and qualifying potential alternative facilities that could deal with my sister’s special needs. Your guidance made the relocation as painless as possible for me, and I know her situation is greatly improved."

"I deeply appreciate all of your assistance in finding a nursing home for my father. You were actually the only person that listened and did anything to help me. Thanks again for listening!"

"I want to thank you so much for all you've done to help us out. You were so responsive it was awesome! I would highly recommend "A Place for Mom" to anyone! Thanks a million!"

"It is so nice to know that there is someone who knows what you are going through and doesn't judge you for your feelings and your frustration. You did that for me and I thank you. You helped set things in motion. You gave me the confidence and understanding that I needed to start looking around for "A Place for Mom" I will keep in touch. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding."

"Words CANNOT express our heartfelt thanks for arranging Mom's rehab. She LOVES the nursing home and all went well without a hitch. She feels like it is family there and she is on her way to regaining her strength. Thanks to "A Place for Mom," where would we be without you!"

"Thank you so much for your help and care in finding my parents an assisted living apartment this week. I realize how many years I have worried about my parents care and how my life has changed in the process. I appreciate not only your information, but how much you truly cared. A Place for Mom is a valuable service and so important to care givers. Thank you so much!"

"You are the BEST! I went to one of the assisted living communities you suggested today and spent a long time with the staff members there. They're all wonderful and the place is beautiful! I reserved an apartment for Dad. I would never have found this place had it not been for you."

"It was such comfort when I contacted you and you listened to my story and gave me support and guidance through this troubled time. It was so hard to know where to turn and when someone mentioned “A Place For Mom” and I contacted you it was a relief to finally find someone that would actually help us. We have friends that are having the same issues that we are having and I will highly recommend that they contact “A Place For Mom." Thank you again for saving my sanity. This seems dramatic, but true."

"My sister is doing very well, thank you for asking. She is confused as to where she is at and why she is there, but I think she will adjust over time. I would definitely refer A Place for Mom (Sister) to anyone in need of your service. Thanks again for all your help."

"I do not know what I would have done without the resources available from you and a Place for Mom. Your advice and connections helping me find an Alzheimer’s community made an overwhelming, nearly impossible task practical with minimal difficulty. My experience with you and your caring empathic manner was more than I could have ever hoped for and is truly appreciated."

"Things are working out well for Mother at the residential care home. The best part about the “A Place for Mom” service was that you were there to help and get answers for us. Your prompt replies kept us from getting nuts with worry. Thank you for all your help. I tell everyone about your service!"

"Thank you for your immediate response to my inquiry for information about a retirement community. I feel much more informed and less overwhelmed with our future decisions. I appreciate your time, energy, and sensitivity. Again, thank you for all the information and thoughts on our situation."

It has been your personal concern and empathy that has made a completely overwhelming situation manageable. Thank you so much for being so good at what you do."

"Your service was a great help and we are very pleased with my mother's care. I would definitely recommend your service to others as it cuts time and stress from the search process!"

"On my own, I placed my mother in three different facilities which involved a 430 mile move from Southern California to Northern California. I really needed help! A Place for Mom provided me with all the contacts I needed (and hand-holding along the way) to find a lovely residential care home that is a perfect fit. As a result of going "the extra mile," my dear mother is now happily settled in her new home, near to my new home in Northern California."

"You provide a wonderful service. I'm sure anyone who goes through this, including me, appreciates the kind words, hard work and follow-up that A Place for Mom offers!"

"Thanks so much for all your help. I really think that you have led us in the right direction. I think it is all going to work out in the end, thanks to you! Thanks a million!"

"My parents are still adjusting to the environment, but enjoying the great food and all the conveniences the assisted living community has to offer. Your help to me was invaluable. I don't think I could have done what I did without your help. You really listened and helped me to find the best place for my parents."

"I don't know what state we would be in without the advice and connections you have given us. Everyone I speak to about my grandmother, I tell how you changed my grandmother's future. If only more people knew about A Place for Mom. Thanks!"

"I cannot begin to tell you how helpful the information and links you sent me about assisted living communities have been! My parents, brothers and I will have a lot to talk about and consider. I pray that God will bless you for this wonderful service you offer to people like my parents and my family."

"I can't thank you enough for the personal help and assistance. It's been a very tough seven weeks for me. Finding the just the right assisted living community so quickly made everything that much easier. Thank you so much!"

"You provide a wonderful service that is very much appreciated. My Mom had refused to consider such a move in the past, so when it finally became necessary, I had one week to find a place and move her in. I couldn't have done it without your help. I will recommend your service at every opportunity. Thank you again."

"I was truly impressed by how quickly you responded to my call, and your company responded to my email. I was very appreciative of the number of options you were able to get to me so quickly. Your personal concern for my “emergency” situation was very comforting, and calming for me. I was amazed at the number of facilities that contacted me so quickly. I also want to thank you for the articles you sent via email, as some I shared with my sister immediately to help her cope, and others were a comfort to me."

"I have passed the word along to anyone who will listen about A Place For Mom and how wonderful you have been. I cannot thank you enough. You were there for me when my own family was not, even though you and I have never met. And you were just doing your job. Thank you again. Your caring and kindness touched me. You have made a HUGE difference in someone's life, mine -- and Dad's too."

"My family and I can not thank you enough for you assistance in finding a facility for my mother in-law. I am so happy I was given your name and number for help. After all the anguish we have been through in the past few weeks it is such a great feeling to know there is such a wonderful person like you and a wonderful program like A Place For Mom out there to assist people like us. My mom in-law has a place that is safe and we owe it all to you and A Place For Mom. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"You have no idea how much your calls meant to me and the help you have given me over the last few months. As you know, when I contacted "A Place for Mom," I was at a pretty desperate point in my life and didn't know where to turn. There were several places I contacted and you were the only one to actually call and speak with me. I received e-mails from the others, but no human voice. The concern and care you showed me was a blessing. I thought I was alone, but there you were telling me to relax and don't worry, you would help me with the task of finding the right place for "Dad". What a burden you lifted from me. What a gift you are to me and, I'm sure to the other families you work with."

"A Place for Mom offers a great deal of resources that help people during these tough decision making times. Thank you so much! Mom is to be discharged on Friday. I hope and pray this will be a better experience for us and that this bed remains open. I know God is in this and he is looking out for my Mom. Thanks again."

"I want to thank you for all your help. I don't know what I would have done with out you. Your service is very needed and we are blessed to have you on our side. It's hard enough to place a loved one in some one else hands but you helped to make the search easier. Thanks again!"

"Honestly, we couldn't have done this without you. There is so much information out there that it is hard to weed out inappropriate choices without a "guided tour." Even more important, the ability to bounce ideas and refine our decision parameters is just invaluable. You all are a god send, and I have recommended your service to others that I work with, knowing that some of them could use help today, and some of them will need help in the future."

"I appreciate your caring words and all of the times that you just listened to what was "going on" with my Mom. The compassion and excellent "customer service" that you and all of the employees at A Place For Mom pour out to the community is a blessing. Please know that you make a difference every day, not just the day that Mom moves in to her new home. Thank you so much!"

"Words can not express how much your support has meant. I don't know how to thank you properly. How did you always know when I needed an informed ear? If only I had the resources to buy you a car or a cruise or something of that girth. Just know that I am indebted."

Much to my surprise you both called & e-mailed me within a day."

I can't thank you enough for the help you were to me. I was in total panic mode and within minutes you had names and numbers for me to call and the advice you gave was incredible."

"You have been a great help. Kind, caring and concerned every step of the way. You made everything so much easier on me, I couldn't have done it with out you, nor did I know about all the options out there. You will be highly recommended by me. I can't wait to meet you and give you a big hug."

"I never took the time to let you know how much our family appreciated your help in finding placement for my father-in-law with your help we found a wonderful facility with caring staff and administration. Before his passing it was not unusual to find a staff member or someone from administration in his room just checking on him. They actually cared about him as a person as well as an individual. Even when he was actively dying it seemed as though they could not do enough for him or for our family. We still miss him terribly but we take great comfort in knowing that during his final days he was well taken care of and treated as a person."

We have little doubt that my mom will love it there once she adjusts. She'll be safe, and she'll get the care and attention needed. And you're probably tired of me repeating it, but I can't express enough appreciation for your help. You were very caring during a very stressful and sad time. You really were fabulous!"

"I would not be able to say how extremely helpful your advice and information you have given me has been to me! I would not have even thought about the Heartlands for my parents and it is such a great place for them to live! You could not have done any more and it has been great corresponding back and forth with you!"

"Thank you very much for all of your help on this matter. You have made my life a whole lot easier in making a necessary decision for my mother's needs. As mentioned earlier, people that provide this much needed service are worth their weight in GOLD!! Thank you very much for your prompt attention to my e-mail and the quick call back with references."

"I want to thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf in trying to place my husband. You were so diligent in keeping in touch with me and I do appreciate it. It was comforting to have someone I could contact and share my needs with and you fulfilled that completely."

"My mom loves this place. It feels like a Bed and Breakfast - cozy, personalized attention, good food and company. She plays games, etc. with the caregivers and a few of the residents. She's finally found her niche. She has been a very angry person most of her life, and now she seems to have found some inner peace. Thanks for taking part in her evolution."

Although she had not played for many years she still had her point count card and the score card - it was a lovely afternoon for her. We can't thank you enough for all your help."

"You and the service that you supply are life savers, literally. My mom loves where she is and has a totally new out look on life. The nursing home said she would be in a wheel chair for the rest of her life because she didn’t have the will to walk again. She is now starting to use her walker and her life is becoming filled with the things she loved to do. She’s playing bridge, meeting new friends and still close to us so that we can just pop in anytime we want. She now has her privacy back which is wonderful and Spring Estates is a quiet and calming place. I tell you I will recommend you and your service to everyone and let me tell you everyone I know is having to deal with just what I have gone through. So again, thank you so much!"

"Thank you for all your help with finding a place for my mom. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to you and for all of your hard work.

It was wonderful having a resource that could give me not only names, contact numbers and directions, but also feedback from other people who had visited each facility.

I would say that you did a great job."

I'm so grateful for your help finding his new home. You made what would have been an exhausting search so much easier. I doubt I would have found Carriage Court without you. I will continue to recommend you and your services to anyone I know that may find them useful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

"I would like to say thank you so much for helping us find Family Choice. We are so happy my father is at such a wonderful place.

I took Mama there and she fell in love with the caretakers and there is a gentleman there who will be available to walk with her in the mornings. Her room is small but we can bring many of her things to make it her own. I was frantic until you stepped in to help, and for that I am eternally grateful. I have told everyone I know about your wonderful help."
