We were daunted by the over 1100 group family homes in King County and did not know where to begin in finding the right home for Mom's needs.

It wasn't a week gone by that we didn't hear from you by e-mail or cell phone. You are such a blessing to your organization and to each and every family that contact you will be blessed."

"Your service was very valuable. It is human to view a new and strange situation with some trepidation, ?where do I begin, where is information about options available.' One can get caught in inaction mode while wrestling with the starting point. Although I knew what kind of facility I wanted to place my mom, your service gave me a sense of security that the information you provided had already been vetted and culled from the long list I had accumulated by going to the 'net'. A lot of trial and error was removed from my working equation."

"Donna is the closest thing to an angel that I will ever come across in my lifetime. She can cut through the red tape and confusion like a hot knife through better. I can't say enough good about her. She is truly a caring person. I just hope that when the time comes for me to be in the situation of my father-in-law, someone like Donna is around. If she had wings, St. Peter would have a sister."

"In my past experiences, I have never received this kind of help and I am still in awe. Now, my issue is 'which wonderful home should I place Auntie Dora in?' I have met some beautiful people in this industry (thanks to you and Diana), and I'm so encouraged."

"I'd like to express my sincerest thanks for all you have done for me and my family to place Mom. From the outset, when I was so reluctant to truly consider placing Mom in assisted living till today when she is placed, you have been so thorough, thoughtful and respectful of not only Mom's needs but mine also. You and A Place for Mom need to be congratulated for the terrific work you do for those of us in the position of caring for, and making decisions for an elderly parent. Bravo!!!"

"Thank you so much for your call and the information you sent! Contact with you has reenergized me and helped me to refocus and see some hope in a world that seemed to be closing in with no options."

"We want to extend our deepest appreciation and respect to you for the total efficiency you have displayed in such a short period to resolve a lot of our immediate worries and placement concerns. I would have spent days, maybe weeks, getting to the point of where we are now in trying to place Mom in a better environment had it not been for our fortunate contact with you. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone in our shoes to have a person like Connie in their pocket!"

"Thank you for all of your support and advice. These are tough times and decisions, but I really feel that I have explored all of our options and that my parents are in the best place that they can be for now."

"I thank God for your warm spirit and your concern. I just want you know that I truly appreciate your time and your service and the advice you have giving to me and my sister."

"Thanks ever so much for your help. After I talked to you on the phone on Friday, I felt a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Now, it is out of my hands."

"I don't believe we could have done this without you. I relied on you very heavily for everything and you never disappointed me. I was so overwhelmed that I don't believe I would have made much progress on my own. I think you realized my frustrations and you were able to get me through the process with compassion, kindness and the utmost professionalism. Thanking you just seems too inadequate. However I do thank you from the bottom of my heart and I thank God for you and others who do what you do."

"Thanks to you, this is all going well. When you called me that evening the first time, you were truly like an angel from heaven, bringing me valuable information at a time when I was lost. You and a Place For Mom do a wonderful job."

"Thank you for the information provided and the time you took to talk to me on the phone. At a time like this it's nice to know that there are people out there like you to hold our hands."

"Thank you so much for your help. If it were not for you and your assistance I would not have a place for my mother. You too are one of God's blessings."

"I really appreciate your help. You've been so kind and gentle, two qualities that make you very good at your job. Thank you."

"I couldn't have done this without your assistance and I want to thank you SO much!!!! You have made a stressful time a lot easier by providing me all the great information. I loved all the facilities I looked at. I will let you know how things go after Mama has had time to settle in and will certainly give anyone I know a great referral for A Place for Mom."

"Your organization does fantastic work. Thank you for your quick response to my online inquiry. The articles on memory loss you sent were useful and needless to say, the list of facilities you gave me was incredibly helpful. The best part though, is the sense of peace I have now knowing that the day to day struggles are over. My aunt is seems relaxed and more settled than she's been in a long time knowing she's going to be living so close to me. It's a relief for both of us. Thanks so much for making this possible!"

"You have been such comfort and help during this very difficult time. I believe God guided me to you as you surely have been a God-send for me. The information has been timely and your guidance to a local assisted care facility has given everyone peace of mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you ... you made all the difference in the world."

"Thank you very much for all of your help. I only had 1 month with my Aunt in Ohio but it was well worth it. You made the experience of locating a place for her to stay very easy. You provide an important service for people like me."

"I want to personally thank you for all you ongoing concern and support. You are quite special...I never thought that when I received your info from a professor that I'd ever get someone so special and interested in ""hope"" that it would inspire me to do everything I could to ensure the best for my mother -- you were truly that beacon and ray of hope that was from someone who really cared."

"Margaret, thank you so much for all your assistance - I can't tell you how priceless your help has been. Because of your recommendations, I stopped worrying about dad every minute of everyday because I know he is being taken care of."

"It's a wonderful service you provide. It's always stressful times for families and you have such a pleasant positive manner -- sooo much appreciated!"

"Thank you for the help that you have given my mother, my family and I these past several days. I will recommend your services to anyone that I know, should they be in a similar need. Thank you from my heart"

"I want to thank you for everything you've done to help me through this ordeal. At times I didn't think this would happen, even though I knew it was the best thing for her. Your advice was always welcome and needed. Your keeping in touch let me know there was someone to turn to -- Thank you!"

"I have to tell you that we were beside ourselves worrying about finding a place for my father-in-law once he was discharged from Rehab after suffering his second stroke. We wanted to find some place for him that would meet all of his needs and thanks to your organization we found the perfect location. Not only will it meet his needs, but it's lovely. I can't tell you how well we sleep at night, knowing that our Dad will have the perfect place to spend the remainder of his years with us."

"Words can not express how this task was made into a joy to do. I believe we are all here to do what comes natural, for me it is taking care of children and for you it is finding A Place for Mom. You are an amazing person who does their job with the utmost professionalism and listened to me rant and rave and when all was said in done in a week Ma has a place to call home. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being there."

"I want to thank you for all the hard work you have put into finding my Aunt a place to live. I have dealt with many services but have never had the attentiveness you have shown to my Aunt.

You gave me a road map to get me to as many places as humanly possible in one day."

"I have spoken highly of you to anyone I have met who is interested. You helped a great deal in making a difficult choice easier by narrowing down and explaining the differences and benefits of each place. Thanks for sticking with me through the process"

"I want to thank you, especially Rick, for helping me find a place for my sister. It was rather difficult because there are so few homes in the Atlanta area which take Medicaid recipients, and the ones I have visited have been ?grim.' Rick was very helpful in helping me find one that was just opening up, and it is the most humane one she has been in the past eight years."

"Thanks, again, for your help and concern. It really did make the process less worrisome and intimidating, and gave us confidence that we were checking out 'all the right places.'"

"Not incidentally, neither of the person referrals came close to your organization's standards. I have already told many friends about A Place for Mom and given them your name. Thank you for your assistance in bringing peace of mind to my sister and me through the high caliber of properties you represent."

"There are no words that can express our appreciation to you for all your time and effort you have put into helping our family."

"Just a big thank you. You have helped make our lives so much better. Your patience and support are truly appreciated."

"To be honest, the most valuable component of your services was pointing us in the right direction. We haven't lived in Cincinnati all that long and weren't aware of many of the places to consider. Your continued interest also was appreciated."

"Thanks so much for your help. I know that when we spoke I truly had the deer in headlights look, but the information you shared was very helpful in finding the right direction to take with my mom. I appreciated your patience and calmness."

"I want you to know how much I have appreciated all your support and expertise through out a very stressful time in my family's lives. Your work is truly a gift to people in need."

"Thanks so much for all your support. Am glad I had a chance to know the great work you folks do."

"I believe you are sunshine for many. Thank you again for your compassion."

You saved me from all of that and I am very thankful."

"Well I can not thank you people enough at A place for mom you were a great deal of help in getting my mom into assisted living. I am pretty positive I would not have been able to do it without your assistance."

"I want to thank-you very much for all of your help with my father-n-law. I don't know what we would have done without your help. I had no idea that adult living was out there for him. Your agency provides needed service for people like us who had no idea where to turn."

"Thank you and May Heaven smile upon you! We had a difficult task ahead of us but your support, kind words and prayer truly worked."

"I very much appreciate more than anything, your attitude of wanting to help. There are people who have a job and go through the motions, but I felt you really cared to help resolve this in his best interest."

Thank you so much for your help, I could not have gotten this far without it."

"There are lots of lists online, but other than having to call ALL of them, there's no good way (without a service like yours) to wade through them and find out what's available."

"Finding you and A Place For Mom has been an absolute blessing. During the last year I immediately turned to you for assistance on several occasions and you have provided me with precious advice and guidance.

"I can't thank you enough. I am a believer in fate; things happen for a reason and something lead to your website that day and the rest is history.."

My brother and I can honestly say from the bottom of our heart "Thank You" and don't know what we would have done without you."

"It's just nice to know that you're out there helping people like us."

So thank you again, your assistance made finding a good fit for mom very easy."

"I appreciate your knowledge of all the resources available for my parents. You also have a lot of patience and a wonderful way of explaining options to seniors which can be a difficult and emotional time for them.

"Thank you doesn't say enough for your support, advice and detailed information. You lightened this care giver's load tremendously. "

"Mom is so happy at Heather Heights. Thank you for everything you did for us, from finding the best places, organizing the tours, information on estate and tag sales, movers, and the gentle but firm pushes I needed, in order to best take care of my mom. You let me do things my way, but in the end I did exactly what you suggested, although I thought it was my idea. I laughed at myself quite often over this. You were my Angel sent from up above."

"Fortunately I never had to deal with this difficult situation before, so I didn't know too much about it and luckily a friend of mine told me about A Place for Mom. I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Bob. He was knowledgeable, extremely helpful, proactive, and professional, has great follow-up and is very compassionate.

"I wanted to jot a quick note to you say thank you so much. To date, this has been the most difficult thing that I have ever experienced, but your help allowed us to find a wonderful and caring place for mom."

"Mom moved into Atria and she loves it there so far. She thinks the staff is terrific, very conscientious, helpful and warm. I haven't heard her this happy in many, many years. I don't know if I would have even looked at this community if it weren't for your suggestions and help with the process, including the financial advice. I can't thank you enough."

"You were an angel in need when you answered my message about my husband. He needed quick placement and I was desperate. I cannot stress how you were there when I needed you, Maggie. I felt very alone with searching for a place for husband and you came to my rescue. You were very patient and you were the BEST!!!"

"I wanted to thank you for your kind interaction with me during our recent conversation. It was refreshing to speak to a genuinely caring person; you were a life line that day."

"We are all delighted with the care that Lil is receiving here. She is more active, is eating well, and seems to be gaining more ability and range in her physical movements. I'm impressed with both the care and the concern that is shown to the residents here. I couldn't ask for better people to be caring for my Aunt on a daily basis. I'm deeply grateful!"

"Thank you so much for your help with finding an appropriate place for my mom. We have decided to go with The Heritage. Thank you so much for your help in this quest. You made my life so much easier!"

"My Mom is doing great, we could not be happier, she is busy every day. She loves her new friends, and looks forward to the daily activities. We could not thank you and A Place for Mom enough, for what you have done for our family. We were scared to start the whole process, not knowing what kind of facilities are out there, but our whole experience with you and A Place for Mom has been such a happy one, we could not be more pleased."

"This entire process has been one that has been beyond our expectations. You have been such a blessing to all of us. I truly don't know how we ever would have accomplished this huge task with such calm (most of the time!). You are so wonderful, kind, helpful and understanding! Thank you again for your service. I will never forget you and the impact you had on our family."

"This truly is not an easy task and I appreciate everything you are doing to help."

"I would like to express my sincere thanks for all that the staff at A Place for Mom has done for me and my Mother over the last several months. I have talked to and communicated through email, to some of the most wonderful women in Houston."

"I want to sincerely thank you for the role you have played in the chain of events, without your initial recommendation, Mom would not be where she is today. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your caring contributions"

"Thank you for all the articles you have forwarded to me. They have definitely given me some useful information and food for thought. I do appreciate all the support you and A Place for Mom have given us."

"Thank you again for all your concern and work with the information you supplied. Without your help, I'm sure the task would have been overwhelming. I have recommended your service to others."

"I can’t think of anything you could have done better or different. Your support and help was so fantasticI can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for us."

"Thanks to you're referral service we have successfully placed her in one of the homes you recommended. I'd like to thank you on her behalf and her family and friends. This would have been much more difficult without you're help. Thank you for everything."

"I want you and all the staff at A Place for Mom to know that you are very much appreciated. It’s great to know that there are so many wonderful people out there to help save someone like me. I could not have done this alone."

"Thanks again for all your help. You minimized the time and effort it would have taken me to find a facility that was acceptable for Mom. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated!"

"From above and beyond the call of duty, Rosy has talked with me during the dark hours of doubt and the paralyzing fear of doing the right or wrong thing for my Mother. I was able to speak so freely with Rosy and address issues that I didn't feel comfortable discussing with other family. Sometimes a hand that reaches out is stronger than all the armies in the world. I don't think I could have made this type of year long journey with A Place for Mom and with out the kind, warm, caring and deeply committed person of Rosy."

"I can't begin to explain to you what a relief it is to have some one like you to talk with. I'm so frazzled right now & your service has taken a huge weight off of me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel very comfortable dealing with you."

"Your help and advice has been invaluable to us in getting through this difficult time. I can't thank you enough. I will be sure to tell my friends about A Place for Mom and anyone else who might be in need of your services. Thank you again."

"Rob and I appreciated your helpful articles and tips. You are a wonderful listener and I feel blessed knowing I had you to turn to. You are an excellent resource and I will recommend you to friends and family needing elder care. Thanks again for being there for me and my family."

"I wanted to thank you for your suggestions and assistance in finding a place for my Dad. I would not hesitate for one minute recommending your services. I wish to thank you all for your help and appreciate everything you have done."

"Thank you so much for everything. A week ago, my mom and I were both completely lost and didn't know where to even start looking. We wouldn't be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now if it wasn't for your help."

"I really appreciate our discussions and your support. I will continue to recommend you as I find other s in similar situations."

"I cannot thank you enough or find the words to express what your help, concern and guidance has meant to our family. Your immediate concern and referrals solved our problems and we found a facility 4 miles from my niece's home within one week."

"The information and contacts you provided were a great help and support to all the questions on how to deal with both of our parents. Without your help, I don't know where we would have been. Thanks very much and I'm sure that I'll remember you when any of my friends or colleagues ask me about this issue."

"Thank you so much for all the information regarding help for my Father. You are a true blessing for my Mom and me. I truly appreciate all the information you have furnished."

"I would like to thank you for your help with placing my mom. She is doing well and seems to have adjusted very well."

"I wanted to take a moment and share with you what a wonderful experience I have had this week with your service, but specifically with Sandra. She has been assisting me in placing my uncle in The Roosevelt Place. It has been extremely challenging. I cannot possibly say enough about Sandra, she is a truly a jewel."

"I want to personally thank you for all your assistance. You have no idea how your caring helped me during this very difficult time. Words can not truly express my appreciation for all your help...AGAIN THANK YOU."

"I don't know how to begin to thank you for all of your help. I didn't know where to start and you were there for me. They say there's a reason for everything and you and Ray meeting was God's intervention for me. Thank you, A Place for Mom!"

"I want you to know that Carol has been one life's blessings to me. If it were not for her, I believe I never would have been able to relocate my sister to a facility near us. She gave me valuable information, unending support and encouragement to get us through this initial stage in moving my sister. It meant more to me than I can express."

"I just wanted to let you know how very grateful I am that you have contacted me regarding care for my in-laws. I appreciate so very much all of the informative e-mails you have forwarded! I realize how very challenging this endeavor will be for me, and any and all support I can receive is so welcomed! You and your agency should be commended!"

"I just wanted to give you an update. I choose The Devonshire as a new home for my father. The staff has been wonderful and I'm sure they will make the transition for my father as smooth as possible. They are also helping me make the transition. I worry too much and they have put my mind at ease. This has been a long tough road for me. I know as my father gets older he will have more needs, but I feel so much better that The Devonshire will be there to take care of him. I couldn't have done this without you and A Place for Mom."

"I want to thank you so much for your caring attitude and helpful information. You made this process much easier!"

"I want to send a special thank to Carol for helping me look for a place for my mom. Carol was especially helpful to me and I appreciate that very much."

"Just wanted to let you know I found a gold mine for Dad! There's a shared room open at Courtyard Plaza and his roommate is the activities director! Thank you so much for all your help. You made this so easy for me and I will reccommend you to anyone."

"Words cannot express my gratitude to A Place for Mom and more importantly, to you Tony, for your assistance in my search for a friendly and warm independent living community for my dad. Your warm friendly nature shone through about you as a person and a professional Eldercare Advisor. With our continued telephone conversations, I found your patience and concern in listening to my questions, knowing my lack of experience in doing research on these communities, to be very reassuring. Your guidance and direction helped me in finding the right community to suite my dad’s lifestyle. It has been a week now since my dad moved into Pocasset Bay Manor and he is doing amazing well."

"Thank you for your help and encouraging words. My wife and I appreciate any help you can give us."

"I just want to take this time to “THANKYOU.” We are very pleased with this service and would recommend this service to anyone."

"I just can't thank you enough for your guidance and assistance in learning what retirement homes are in our area which may assist my Dad in choosing a new home. I told him about A Place for Mom and the various responses I have received from locations around Columbia. He was quite eager to review the brochures and various emails from these retirement homes. I can't thank you enough for providing us with much information to begin this journey!"

"I want to thank you so much for your extra effort and help regarding my Mom. You do not know the relief and pressure you have lifted off of me in trying to care for my Mom. What a great organization you have and the information you provide is so valuable. Again so many Thanks - I actually am laughing and smiling already, something that hasn’t been for awhile with all the stress of caring/decisions for my Mom and keeping my life in tact through it all."

"The dust has started to settle for us and many thanks to you and your fine organization in helping us to find a place for my Dad. We decided on Alamitos West, one of which you recommended. We are all very pleased with this facility and believe this will probably be his last residence. Once again, thank you for your help and your positive Emails. They were very encouraging."

"I am comforted and blessed to have found such a truly wonderful "Place for Mom"! I count my lucky stars every night and thank you for making it possible."

"While the decisions ahead won't be easy, I have more confidence now in making the right decision for my mom. It's nice to know I have friendly, knowledgeable advocates I can tap in to."

"Thank you for sending all the information so quickly. Thanks so much for all your help. You are an angel for helping me when I had no where else to turn."

"I placed my Dad in Walnut House over the week-end. So far he is doing OK there. Thanks you so much for all of your help and support (and pushing) to get this done. I think I have been trying to make him live a life, this last year, that I wanted him to live and he was no longer capable of doing it. Being the parent for your parents is really hard. Thank God, there are people like you who can be a resource."

"I just want to take the time to thank you with all of my heart for guiding us to such a great place. The staff is so kind and you can tell there is caring ever present; which is the most important thing to me for my elder. Mrs. L is very happy with what she saw and she looks forward to a long stay. She is very social so all of the activities and the others will enable her to have a life and not be alone."

"Finding you has been such a blessing to me. I really do feel that once I talked to you the 1st time things just started to fall into place. I work in the health care environment and still have problems navigating the system. I do not understand how people without my knowledge and resources handle it."

"Thanks so much for all the info! What a wonderful time I had with everything in one place. I have had calls from Hopedale and Independence Village. I have had the opportunity to visit the hyperlinks you have provided. The online community website is super. Thanks for two productive days in my searching."

"Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I don't know what I did before I found you or what I will do if I lose your number somehow. A million thanks!"

"Thank you for sharing and caring. I know in my head this is the right path and I am determined to follow my head not my heart for Dad's sake and well being. You have been a God send. It’s really sad that I am receiving more support from a stranger than my family. I am still struggling with all this quite a bit but have a plan and am moving forward. Thank you for all your input and support not sure where I would be without your assistance."

"I want you to know that the information and assistance you have shared with me has been greatly appreciated. I met with Lisa at Bridgeport Place to gather information, tour the facility, etc. Lisa was wonderful, upbeat, accommodating, understanding and most of all, she was not pushy nor did she ask any personal questions - she let me do the sharing. Your help has been invaluable to me and my family!"

"Your service was wonderful, I know I never would have been able to make this happen without you and I am forever grateful to you! I will definitely refer people to you in the future."

"Nothing but positives to say about you and the service you provide. ALA is perfect for my dad and having an RN staffing the home is a huge plus. I certainly will keep you and A Place for Mom as a good source for referrals as I encounter those with a need. Again, thank you for your assistance and service!"

"Thank you so much for your invaluable efforts on our behalf to find a place for our mom. Your recommendations and referrals were exactly what we were looking for. You spoke to us about the 'quality of life' commitment at the different facilities. You gave us the names to ask for at the facility and included all the current information. The help you gave us about what paper work would be needed and the procedures was invaluable. You also took the time to counsel us on our feelings about placing our mom and what advantages you had seen to such a placement. You also took the time to check back with us several times to make sure everything was going smoothly. Our mom took up residence at Seasons. The first day was rough and our mom did not want to be there. She seems to be happy now. We are taking each day as it comes. She is still adjusting and we know there will be some difficult days. We also know we made the right choice for our mom and largely due to your help and the wonderful staff at Seasons. We were so fortunate to have you in our corner, screening and narrowing down our search. You seemed to know just what we were looking for and what we were going through. We know what a valuable service you provide and will surely recommend A Place for Mom to our friends and colleagues. We wanted you to know that you helped us through a difficult time in our lives and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Thank you for that encouragement. I am amazed at his improvement, he is doing better then he was a year ago. He even said last week that he wished he made the move 2 years ago! He loves the food and has gained 12lbs since moving in. He apparently is playing the piano almost daily, which people seem to love and request songs. Thank you for everything."

"Thanks for your concern. As you can imagine, we have been going and going and going. Nellie is supposed to move into her new home today. We have seen a great change in her over the last few weeks. She is so much more alert and responsive. The support groups we have met through your organization have been a true blessing. There is no way we could have acquired (or even recognized the need for) the help of all the people who will improve the quality of Nellie's new life style. I thank the Lord for sending us your way."

"Thing honestly couldn't be better with the caretaker we hired (Martha) from Caregivers America. She was a nurse in her home country of Columbia for 16 years and is really getting along well with Sergio and my soon to be mother-in-law. Martha has been helping Sergio shave, shower and takes him on walks which is something he hasn't been able to do in years. It allows for Andrea's mom to have time for herself which also hasn't happened in years. It's really been a blessing and I believe we'll be getting Martha to spend more than the 2 days per week now. I thank you again so much for lining this up "

"Things were a bit crazy; my Dad went into hypoglycemia shock. I wouldn't have been able to handle the situation without Charles our aide sent by Griswold. Dad ended up in the hospital for two days which was against the rules with Hospice but he is home doing much better and he is enrolled back with Hospice. We are all adjusting but it definitely the right place for Dad. He had a great Memorial Day afternoon on our deck with friends, chips, salsa and a beer. I will most certainly recommend you and your company to anyone needs the help."

"I wanted to let you know that my brother had a meeting at Sherwood Oaks and really liked it and I think my Dad really liked it too. My Dad's girlfriend is pleased as well since it is not too far for her either. So we are going to put him in the independent living portion of it. Thank you so much for your recommendation. I truly believe our search would have taken much longer had you not steered us in the right direction. I know God was looking out for me when I talked with you on the phone. Hope you are well and thank you again. "

"Thanks for all the assistance that A Place for Mom has given to my family. The last few years have been difficult, but it was reassuring to get advice from experts like your organization. Helping parents transition from care-givers to care-receivers is quite a challenge and you helped us tremendously."

"A nice lady from A Place for Mom's Family got in touch with me and is going to help guide me as to where I might be able to go. I don't think I have ever been so afraid. Everything that I know is now going to be different, and I, at this time don't even know where I will be able to go. But this nice lady named Kathy has certainly given me some hope."

"What a difference Parkview has made in his life already. I just want to thank you again for all of your help. My Dad is happy and having fun for once in a long time. I get to hang out with him more often now."

"Heidi, your continuous encouragement, clarity regarding options and caring helped me get through this most difficult time. Thank you very, very much for your support. I truly applaud your organization and the help that you provide to those of us in need. You are a terrific person to work with and I will always remember how much research, guidance and support you provided to me in trying to place my elderly father."

"I will keep in touch and will never forget your genuine kindness and the friendship over the phone that you conveyed to me; especially at such a confusing and stressful time in my life. You helped me so much in getting started and I felt secure enough to share my personal issues with you, someone that I never actually met but just a voice that emitted genuine concern. If anything changes in the near future with regard to my Mom, I will contact you again and hopefully, if that be the case once again, you will be there with your heart to guide me yet another time."

"Thank you so much for your help in finding suitable housing arrangements for my mother-in -law after she was displaced from her home due to flooding. I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by such a quick response from you and your ability to find a solution to our dilemma. I went to and toured The Rose of Waterloo immediately after your referral and was very impressed with the facility; I felt immediate relief and was so happy that you had directed me to something that seemed to meet her needs so well. Thank you again for your invaluable assistance."

"Thank you so much all of your help and advice - I now feel a bit more "on top" of what I am doing and the information you have sent is so appreciated. I most surely will let each of the places we visit know that you were the referring person. Many, many thanks!"

"Thanks for your help a couple of weeks ago. You were extremely helpful and the family wants me to give you their thanks. Thank you so much for your kind attention and information on which we could act. It got us off Square One!"

"Thank you.....thank you....and thank you again. I feel as if the weight of world is slowly being lifted from my shoulders. Knowing that I am not alone and that there is actually help out there for my parents is more than reassuring...it is a true gift from God. I have shared the information with my sister and brother both of who, although out of state, are trying to help as well. Know that you have made a difference in more than one life today. We are truly grateful for your help."

"I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate the help that you gave to me. It was nice just to have someone listen. Family does listen but disagreeing doesn't always make the situation feel good. I have counseled people in my mom's situation, but it seems impossible when it hits so close to home. Again, I thank you so much and I am very glad to know that there are people out there like you for people like me."

"I can not thank you enough for the help you have given my brother and me. With so little of my own time to look into finding a place for mom and with the extremely high cost of flying between Alaska and Michigan, your resources meant that we could be efficient and successful in our search."

"Thank you for all your time and the info you sent re. a place for my mom! You really nailed it with the two homes you recommended. It saved me so much time, and either one of them would have worked for my mom. I live in Poulsbo and it would have taken me a long time to sift through places on my own. You saved me all that leg work & now my mom can move in right away."

"Thanks to you and your company Mom is just fine, FINALLY! I checked on her today and she is making much progress arranging her room (with a little help from me and my family), and things are beginning to settle into a routine of sorts. All things considered, this is the best possible solution we could ever have hoped for. You did a great job."

"Thanks for all your help. It was a bit of a rough start for mom, moving from Minneapolis to St Paul. After a short return visit to her house this past weekend, she wanted to get back to her "home" at Walker. And she is so happy that the staff in the dining room knows her name and she is making friends."

"Thanks for all your help. We pass on your name and A Place for Mom to everyone that we meet. You’re our greatest asset through this difficult situation."

"! Front end steerage like you provided is invaluable particularly for someone new to the area. What you and A Place For Mom network can do is awesome!"

"Thank you so much for your help. I could not have done it with out you. You are my angel. I hope some day I can thank you in person."

"I can't thank you enough for recommending Cherry Blossom Cottage. Joe really loved it and said it felt like he was at home."

"My parents are still doing VERY WELL in the assisted living place you found for us. They have been there for a year now and what a blessing the place has been. Your help was so valuable to us. Thank you again!"

"Mom was very upset, agitated, and behaving aggressively and was asking us to come to take her home. After finding A Place for Mom on the web, I was blessed to receive a note from Michelle, and later phone calls and much communication about my options for Mom's care. Without Michelle, we would have been lost, to say the least."

"I just wanted to let you know everything has worked out so well with the new place! My dad is so happy there! I couldn't believe how easy you made everything! I have been telling everyone I know about you and A Place for Mom- we'll all need it eventually!"

"Thanks so much for sending me the info and for helping to make more sound decisions for my mother-in-law. You have a heart of gold and I appreciate all your help."

"Your service that you do cannot be measured in words and thanking you seems so small in comparison to the valuable work that you do."

"Thank you very much for your help with helping to place Mom at The Gardens of West Orange. So far she is quite happy. Her room is very adequate and we are getting her settled. She had talked to a friend of hers when she first got there and told her how nice it was, so her friend wound up moving in there also. Again, thank you for your help."

"Laura's mom seems to be loving her new life at the Gardens. We even got her a cat who lives with her in the apartment. She seems happy and has made friends. Looks like we made a good choice with your help!!!"

"I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for all of your help in finding a place for my Aunt. Keep up the good work!"

"Thanks so much for calling today! I already feel better about getting my uncle what he wants and needs. You and your company are angels."

"Thanks for all your help. You were a blessing. Mom moves in on Saturday. I will keep in touch with you to let you know how it is going."

"We are delighted to have found you and A Place for Mom. You were truly sent by God to assist us and we thank you!"

"I just wanted to let you know that my family is so appreciative and thankful for all the kind efforts of Glenda. She is a God send to us; she always went out of her way to make the transition for Mommy to each facility as easy as something like this could be."

"I just wanted to thank you for all your assistance in getting a "Place for My Mom". She has been placed at Golden Living Center- Stenton. I slept through the night last night for the first time in over 8 months knowing my mother was safe and sound."

"My mother is adjusting quit well to NHC Place. I do not think that she would have adjusted as quickly to any other facility. She likes the people there and the surroundings. I do appreciate the work that you did for everyone; it certainly relieved a lot of stress for everyone involved. I will certainly not hesitate in referring anyone I know needed your assistance to give them your name and email address. Again thank you for everything."

"My mom is SO happy at Heritage Pointe. She has made friends and had a pretty easy move. Still a few things left to do but she has only 2 boxes left to unpack. She raves about the food and service. Everyone has been so nice to her and she's already feeling at home. I was so pleasantly surprised by all this. I thought the transition would be more difficult."

"You have really been a major help in finding resources for my mom and dad! I thank my lucky stars that I came across your web site aplaceformom.com! I appreciate the information that you sent me on the Senior Centers, and I will take your advice and your own personal experience to gently guide my father into getting involved with other senior citizens. Again, many thanks for your help and your concern!"

"I can’t tell you how much I truly appreciate your help and support. We are so excited to go to Phoenix next week and bring Dad home. I’ve told him about Rod and the home he is moving into but I’m sure he thinks I’m pulling the wool over his eyes. Thanks again for all of your caring and support. It means a lot."

"My mother-in-law is doing her best at Farmington Hills Inn. We are coming to value and love the folks that work so patiently with our loved one. We could never have made such a wise choice without your guidance."

"I can never "THANK YOU" enough for all you help, guidance and support. Without your help, I don't know where I'd beYou and your company are a true God sent."

"Just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for all of your help over the last few weeks. My mom settled into Sunrise and everything went very well. The information you were able to provide really helped in my research in trying to find the best facility for my mom. It's a wonderful service that you and your group provide"

"The assistance you provided really made mom's transition possible. You have been available every time we needed information in addition to giving us insight into some information that we would never have gained without your help. It is very obvious that what you do is so much more than a job to you, it’s a calling and you do a wonderful job."

"I am grateful for your assistance. I appreciate you taking the time to make our tour times and look forward to visiting each location."

"I wanted to let you know how successful the move has been for my mother. She has gone from a hospital environment to a warm and caring home environment and I have your services to thank for that."

"Honestly, I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for your organization and your help in assisting me through this challenging time. The service A Place for Mom provides is invaluable. Without it I would not have been able to find a place in which my dad felt comfortable and happy. You went above and beyond the call in assisting me, and I am forever grateful."

"I don't know how to thank you enough for getting me to investigate all the possibilities for my mother's care. Your advice was right on in every regard."

"We will be moving Mom and I am very excited about having her so close to me so I can see her 3-4 times a week, instead of being limited to once every week or two. Thank you for all of your assistance--you certainly know your business!"

"I can't tell you how thankful I am to talk to you, knowing you can understand what I've been through. There is now hope for me to not feel so frustrated with navigating everything and not knowing what to do."

"I just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am for all the work that Carla has done on my behalf as I attempt to move my mother closer to me and into an assisted living facility. From the beginning, Carla has offered solid advice."

"I want to thank you so much for your help and direction. We are going to be moving Jims' sister into the American. I want you to know that it was a HUGE help just having initial and follow up contact with you."
