A Place for Mom

I spoke to them by phone and they gave me 6 care home names to visit. I had to visit them myself and 1 claimed they had no vacancy the same day I received the information, so they obviously were not vetted as I was told. 1 home did not accept medicaid as payment, as I had requested, 1 home could not handle the level of care my Mom needed and another was so scary that I walked directly out as soon as I saw the conditions. Only 1 home was acceptable and then I learned they had to give the entire first months cost I paid to A Place For Mom. That was hardly earned for providing me with bad information one 2 phone calls. I recommend people do their own internet search of homes near them and skip the gift to this referral agency. They didn't earn it.

We had been taking care of my mother at home for several years. We realized that as mere mortals we were no longer up to the task. So I began looking at having someone come into the home several days a week. That was impossible. Suddenly, my mother needed more help than even someone coming into the home could give. I had to find her a placement. I called A Place For Mom, I spoke with Grace. Her name was so appropriate. She was a wash of soothing calm in my chaos-filled life. She helped find the most amazing place for my mother. She is now there and fitting in wonderfully. She is not happy about having to leave her home, but she understands. My mom hasn't fallen, she hasn't been getting up in the middle of the night having delusions, or eating too much or too little. I think this is all due to the calm and serene atmosphere of the home that Grace found for her. I know this is all for the best. Thank you A Place For Mom and especially Grace.

I appreciate the help I received when things seemed so impossible. Dion was very resourceful and accommodating. I consider your organization the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Thank You

I went to the Web site to get help on "memory care" places in my home town. No help on the Web site, I had to put in my contact information and wait for a rep to call me back. The next day I get a call asking for a bunch of info about my situation. I tell them the name of my home town and that I'm just looking for places that offer memory care. I'd been to a couple already but just saw their commercial and thought they could help. They wanted even more information. I finally said I just want a list of places. At that point they tell me there are none in my location and the closest is 30 miles away. Why didn't they start with this information. I assume they just have a list of facilities that pay them to be "recommended". UGH. What a waste of my time.

We chose an assisted living facility that was not on A Place for Mom's list. Just the same, I still get calls from them, wanting to help me place my husband. My husband did great in the place we chose. He died two months ago. I am still hounded by A Place for Mom. I'm ready to look for legal means to get them off my back.

I contacted A Place for Mom accidentally when trying to get information for my mother and honestly tried to avoid the calls. But when I spoke to Natalie, she was so helpful... she totally understood my needs and pointed me in the right direction, which I was initially resistant to because I thought I had my mind made up. She ended up telling me about a place that was right in my backyard that I didn't know existed. It turned out to be a perfect fit for my mother who has moved in and is happy there today!

Received call after call during times I was unavailable. Finally was able to speak with the initial caller. She got the local rep on the line and when I couldn't understand how it was that they were not able to assist me in my mothers situation she actually hung up on me.
Do not waste your time - do your own research. Apparently these folks are not into helping.

Called three times to aid my search in finding a memory care home for dad. No help at all in narrowing my search from a long list of memory care homes. All I received were Internet links to the area agency on aging, Medicaid info and how to finance dad's stay. That was not my priority as I have an elder law attorney to advise me on that. I prefer to narrow down my search and discuss financing with the business one-on-one. The aplaceformom.com website lists a number of memory care homes for my area but the pricing is locked. The prices would not unlock despite entering my personal info as requested. When I called the provided number for a local advisor to help me unlock the prices, I was told the prices were private and to call the homes directly. Strike three, I'm out. Thanks for nothing.

Contacted A Place for Mom and the people were very nice, but basically, if you are not wealthy, they cannot help you and just send you e-mails telling you "how sorry they are" and "good luck on your search". A total waste of time. They are just like the rest - in it for the almighty dollar.

Nothing more than paid advertising for assisted living complexes. I was looking for help finding assisted living for my Mother. Suddenly I was receiving phone calls from a sales person in New Jersey (I'm located in Ohio). She was telling me about the various facilities located near me and she knew nothing more than what I knew and was able to find out on the internet. She had no personal knowledge of the facilities.

We had to find a place for my best friends mother in 30 days and they were extremely helpful and gave us amazing attention to the detail of her needs and we did finally after just a week of contact their referrals we found a perfect fit for her and couldn't be happier with where she ended up.

Avoid these unhelpful people. They only find you places that pay them commissions. Those places May be the worst possible places for your mom. Do your own research. When they call you and you inform them that you placed mom elsewhere, they start telling you how bad the place is and what bad care mom will get there. Sore losers! Unprofessional and unethical. Obviously democrats.

Speaking with Wendy about assistance with finding a residence for my brother. Immediately, I realized she wasn't familiar with the Atlanta area so out of my reluctance I said, "I think I'll look independently on my own since I'm more familiar with the area and know what my brother wants. Ms Wendy said. "You can do what you want to do." As if I didn't already know that. Tried to be courteous with my disengagement. WOW!

They were wonderful. I needed help finding a place for my Step Dad, because he has dementia. It is very bad. I didn't want a big place, I wanted a smaller facility where he would get more individual time with the staff. A place for mom helped me find it. I want to thank them very much for the help, without it I would have been lost.

I went online to look at the available and locations of assisted living near my father. I was required to enter my email and phone number to access the results. Literally seconds after I clicked, I got a call from A Place for Mom. Then two more calls a few minutes apart. Then another call 30 minutes after the 3 call. I had to block the calls in my Caller ID. What kind of scam is this. I wonder if Joan Lunden, a trusted news person who serves as a spokesperson for these scammers is aware of this harassment.

Emily Mulvehill depth of knowledge, local contacts, responsiveness, patience, willingness to stay with us and truly help until our case was resolved is very rare, absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to contact Emily Mulvehill for any needs related to elderly temporary respite and long term placement, especially in the area of Rochester NY. We were very fortunate to find Emily and greatly appreciate her very competent, caring and effective help!

A Place for Mom did a good job providing a list of options based on location and pricing models and provided good background info on each community. We were very pleased with the service and my mother is quite happy with the choice we made, now comfortably transitioned into her new surroundings.

After my mom fell and the dreaded news that she couldn't go back home was received I felt helpless. I knew absolutely nothing about what to do next. Fortunately I remembered "A Place For Mom" commercials and decided to give them a call. I was immediately reassured by Lori that we would be fine and she explained step by step the process I would be going through. Within an hour she had 3 solid communities all about half hour from me. She set up appointments with the sales people and sent me an itinerary. Within 3 days we had a beautiful apartment complete with meals, housekeeping, salon, and all sorts of classes and activities and best of all, loaded with safety features in case of falls or injuries.

The arrangements were made in good time. The local provider (All Ways Caring Home Care) was very helpful with deciding what we needed and found us a worker who is efficient and reliable.

I was given many inappropriate places to check out for my parents, when I had been very specific about their needs. I had appointments made for me at places I would never have considered. I was told there was "nothing" in Auburn, but I found three places myself. An employee at one of the inappropriate places was hugely helpful to me, he gave me the names of about 6 places to call, all of them were right in line with what I was seeking, even he knew his place was wrong before we even spoke.

During my recent search for options for my 94 year old grandmother, it seemed every website I clicked on for searching homes took me to A Place For Mom's website, which was frustrating because you think you are looking at a different companies website because they name the link differently.

It was great customer service at first, until I reported that grandma cannot afford over $2000 / month and does not have assets. All return phone calls stopped at this point and further messages to APFM yielded no response. Shameful.

A Place For Mom is really interested into getting you into the most expensive place... because of the commission they will get. They do NOT have your elderly parent's best interest at heart. We all have jobs and that is just theirs. But do yourself a favor and just use google and get the same lists yourself.

My brother and I had no idea where to begin with placing our dad in memory care. A Pace for Mom gave advice and comfort in a very scary situation. We placed our dad in four days with their help.
