“2 thumbs up!”

"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.

Communities I knew were those that parents of my peers lived but all were outside of my mom's budget. Internet searches brought dozens of communities but no specific information. Kristen at A Place for Mom contacted me and we talked through my mom's needs. She provided a list of possibilities and contact information. Some were communities I had already identified via internet but others were ones I hadn't considered. I narrowed the list with my mom and we scheduled a few tours. Kristen checked in throughout the process to answer questions and offer support. We identified a community for my mom and she will be moving in this month. A Place for Mom is a good resource for a process that gets overwhelming very quickly.

Reason I chose this business:

Overwhelmed with choices and limited time to visit and assess all of them, I remembered commercials for A Place for Mom. As advertised, it was a good resource at no cost to me.

My family was suddenly put in a position to look for assisted-living for my grandmother. It was an overwhelming experience to say the least. A Place for Mom came up and I called immediately. My advisor, Carly, was wonderful! I was able to tell her everything we needed (and what we didn't need) and she was able to provide my family with options. Carly stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process. My family is so grateful for A Place for Mom and Advisor Carly. We didn't have a lot of time to research facilities individually and that is why A Place for Mom is so fantastic!

Reason I chose this business:

A Place for Mom is a one-stop shop filled with compassionate and understanding advisors who are ready and available to assist any time of day! This organization saves families hours, maybe even days, of work.

Between the emotion, the desire to make the right choice amongst all the implications you need a place to start. A Place for Mom is the perfect first step to help you to start filtering choices and identifying options you might not have considered. It will add some structure and continuity to your search. Most importantly A Place for Mom will accelerate your search and get you to a point where you will feel good about your choice.

Reason I chose this business:

It looked like a low risk place to start and at that point, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

PFM gave us several good choices to tour senior communities, scheduled those tours, and made everything simple. We fell in love with the first place we visited, and despite viewing several others, the first was where we moved.

Reason I chose this business:

Saw ads on internet, and gave them a try.

A Place For Mom was recommended by a hospital employee. Once I reached out to A Place For Mom I was immediately taken care of. The staff was very prompt in responses. They were full of very helpful information. They made the process of finding a facility for my mother-in-law much less stressful.

Reason I chose this business:

A hospital employee recommended the service.

I chose the first referral I received from your service. Now I need to be contacted by your Veterans Assistance staff to answer a question about the Veteran's Aid and Assistance benefit for spouses of deceased veterans. Thank you.

We were truly blessed by Dolores Saenz. I am in the healthcare business myself but was at my wits end with the assisted living place my mother in law was in! She was as much a place finder as a therapist to me... lol. But in all seriousness she made a tough time a whole lot easier!

Reason I chose this business:

I accidently got a call after filling out info that I thought I was filling out for a particular place. It was late and I was exhausted and actually was filling out APFM instead. It was a blessing. She narrowed down the places that would be a better fit and gave me the time I needed to check them out etc. while still checking up on the process. Dolores was perfect for me...now i am praying the place we are likely moving to will be perfect for my mother in law!

A Place for Mom, specifically Lydia Lewis provided me with a supportive listening ear and a huge amount of potential senior nursing housing options. Since May, our mother was challenged with seven hospitalizations and Ms. Lydia Lewis's continuous calling reflected her high level of concern. Thank you a Place for Mom. Thank you Ms. Lewis.

Reason I chose this business:

Someone told me about them.

I reached out to A Place For Mom when I was at my absolute lowest exactly 2 weeks ago. I chatted with the loveliest person, and within hours appointments were scheduled for memory units that would better suit my family member. It was overall a very, very lovely experience and here we are moving him into a new facility in the next day or two. I would never have known about this new facility if it was not for the initial phone call I made. I'm just so grateful and so relieved.

Reason I chose this business:

I saw an ad on TV! Had no knowledge of what services you provided prior to that call!

I had been looking for assisted living for my mother and a family member recommend A Place For Mom. Missy Williams was in contact with me within an hour of making the original request and I cannot say enough good things about her. Professional, caring, personable and communicative are starters. Missy gave me over a dozen locations to look into and helped answer every question I had, no matter how inane they might be. It put my mind at ease knowing that someone genuinely cared about getting my Mom into the best place possible. Mom made her tour, loves the place she chose to move into and she and I both feel much more relaxed. Mom is cared for and I know she's in the best place possible for her care, all thanks to Missy and the wonderful team at APFM.

Pleased with the Assisted Living Facility that A Place for Mom recommended. It is a smaller place with fewer residents which will definitely fit my Mom's needs since she likes a quiet environment. She managed to get a nice room on the first floor with easy access to the dining area. I would definitly use A Place for Mom if I had to find another loved one a Senior Living Facility. It saved me a lot of work!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose A Place for Mom because it had be advertised on TV and I had really no idea how to begin searching for a home without runing around and checking all the places in the area. They did all the legwork and all I had to do was choose from the list they gave me.

A Place for mom quickly and efficiently sent me a list of resources, set up tours, and pivoted when I wanted to look at other options.
My only complaint is that 5 minutes after I finished speaking with them my phone started to ring off the hook with the facilities trying to setup additional tours. It was a bit overwhelming.

Reason I chose this business:

Recommendations from friends

As a result of using A Place For Mom I found and placed my mother in a facility I didn't know about. I toured many homes and the one I chose was perfect for her as she has Dementia. Overall I have to say A Place For Mom worked for us. Very easy to use and you will receive many facility requests for a tour. Take the tours as you will get an understanding of where your mom or dad will be best cared for.

Reason I chose this business:

I ran out of patience trying to find a proper place for my mom. I just jumped in and gave it a shot and it worked. Frankly I didn't want to use the service as I thought I would be inundated with too many choices. However they did pick out only facilities that deal with what my mother is suffering from.

Searching for a new home for myself at the age of 92 in a city where my residence had been established only a few years prior seemed almost hopeless. A Place for Mom did all the legwork, suggesting only places within my price range,and selecting only those within a convenient driving range for my children. I would have spent months jusr searching for facilities instead of the few actual weeks finding a new home matching my requirements and budget.My search was made effortless in finding a lovely new home for thid next chspter of life.

Reason I chose this business:

Realistic and appealing advertisements

I flew from Texas to Michigan to visit my mom and realized we'd need to start exploring options for her to leave her single family house. That Saturday night I got on the website of APFM, expecting an email in a couple days. Thirty minutes later I was on the phone providing information that permitted my new best friends to generate a list of 8 apartment complexes that met our criteria. Seven of the 8 answered my emails within 2 days and we visited 7 of them in a 5 day period. My mom moved 5 months later.

Reason I chose this business:

I unexpectedly needed help for my mother. I'd seen advertising for APFM so I googled & found the website.
