“2 thumbs up!”

Jennifer S.

"A Place for mom" was a huge asset in helping my sisters and I, when it came time for our mom to move to an assisted living home. Our representative was knowledgeable, understanding, empathetic and showed great patience. Having never been down this road before the whole process would have been agony without their guidance and knowledge. From helpful and educational emails on various topics to supplying us with a list of properties to tour, and following up questions about decisions or additional information.

“Horrible snaked”

Please don't trust these people. They are all in it together. They stole all my mother's money and promised she'd always have a place to stay. They threw her in the hospital and refused to take her back into their facility when she finally got to another facility, they starved her to death. She went from 124 pounds down to 86 pounds in one month during Covid. I wasn't allowed to visit, they killed her Do not trust them they are all in it together. They act like they want to help you and they're so sympathetic soon as they get your money you can't get in touch with them.

Counselor's help is invaluable in focusing your search, contacting facilities that you might be interested in and scheduling tours. The online scheduling tools are also helpful as are the emails that address related issues that you need to consider

I had been recently tasked with the job of finding my brother a place to live in Arizona. Moving him from Illinois to AZ and finding a place that was affordable was very stressful for me. Wendy Souza was an amazing help to me. Most importantly was that she listened to me, and I really felt like she cared for my individual situation. She sent me several places to visit, made the appointments for me and eventually I found the right place for my brother.

Reason I chose this business:

It was suggested on the internet when I searched for assisted living facilities near me.

Brian Turnof was very kind and helpful to me when I was looking for memory care options for my mother. He gave me several options and set up the tours on my behalf. He also gave me information on benefits that may be available to assist with her care. His assistance helped make a very stressful time a little less stressful for me.

Reason I chose this business:

A friend recommended the service to me.

Friendly, helpful service with excellent communication.

No cost to me and a complete simplification of finding my new residence.

After filling out the contact form in the middle of the night due to an urgent need for memory care, I got a phone call first thing the next morning (and it was a Sunday!) from Shelli. By 8:30 that same morning, she had already put me in touch with a facility right here in my town. Shelli has followed up twice since then to make sure I had all the help and info that was required. What an awesome service. I have already recommended A Place For Mom to a couple of friends who are facing similar situations. I will be forever grateful to Shelli and this group. Thank you so much!

Reason I chose this business:

Reputation and reading different reviews online, but mostly because the name has stuck with me for several years.

A Place for Mom alleviated a lot of the stress of this process. My consultant was really helpful not only in determining the best places to visit, but in simply listening to the various issues we were facing with my loved one whose needs kept changing.

I can't praise APFM enough. Not only Michelle Lorusso but her team that rounded up a list of facilities within our budget and radius provided excellent service, and a priceless amount of understanding about intra-family difficulties. Doing the right thing for someone should not be so painful, but APFM seems to have seen it all many times before. No good deed goes unscathed in this world, but let these people make it easier, because they will.

I filled out the info online, and within 24 hours, Janice Ryalls called me back. She advised me of my options, and recommended several places in the area. We went to several, and chose the best option for us. We had a few setbacks, and Janice would always call and offer solace or just someone to talk to. When it all worked out, she called to say how happy she was for us.

Reason I chose this business:

I saw the ad on TV with Joan Lunden.

I will start by saying I had no clue how to begin the process of taking care of my dad. Kelly was amazing! She explained so much about the mental aspect as well as how and what to do. She was so patient and kind. Even dad flipped and flopped a little bit. She assisted my sisters and I on what to do. It took so much stress off my family. I was hesitant that I would start getting a bunch of messages and emails from all over the place and that was not the case. Anyone going into a placement situation. Give A place for mom a call. You will be glad you did.

Reason I chose this business:

It was a good place to start this journey with my dad. I’d seen the commercials.

I worked full time and took care of mom [all ADLs] 24/7 when I was not working, and so I was exhausted from getting up every hour or two every night for months and needed help finding a good place for her, and the folks at A Place for Mom understood what was going on and they were really helpful finding a good place. When I reached out to a Place for Mom after a discussion of mom's situation and needs I was immediately given several options for possible places which could support mom with memory care. The team there helped set up virtual tours of the facilities, and within a couple weeks mom was welcomed to her new home. During the move in and subsequent visits I have been really impressed by the care facility. I am sure I would not have found such a good place if it were not for A Place for Mom partnering with me to provide some options. A huge hearty thanks from Kettle Falls, WA.

Reason I chose this business:

I heard good things about it and really needed the help navigating the senior care market.

I reached out to A Place For Mom at a very difficult time in my life. I needed help to place my husband after hospitalization. I wasn't sure what type of facility I was looking for. Eric Blyweis talked to me and immediately gave me some ideas. He made the initial contacts for me, made appointments for me and gave me ideas on what to ask. He was familiar with each place and was able to answer many of my questions. I finally was able to choose the right place and Eric followed up with me at every stage of the process. I never felt rushed when speaking to him. He was a very good listener.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed a place for my husband but wasn't sure what level of care. Eric Blyweis from A Place For Mom
Helped me sort things out and make the right decision. My husband is now getting settled in his apartment and I am very grateful for the help and support I got from Eric.

Reason I chose this business:
