A Place for MomReviews 2,407

My wife called this people when my mother died looking for assistance with my father who has mild dementia. After a few minutes it became clear that these people had no idea about the local services for seniors. All they were interested in was making a referral to a seniors residence for the commission. Then the calls kept coming from them and several residences that they had passed our names onto. After several month of telling these people to go stuff themselves, they keep calling. It is easy to get sucked in by the promises of assistance on their website but I advise to steer clear of these parasites.

I thought they were here to help but only created more stress at an extremely stressful, emotional and heartbreaking time. They called me while I was at work, sleeping ect., not to help but only to find out where we placed my dad to see if they could make a dollar from it. Very greedy and absolutely no help at! I believe the lady calling me also suffered from Alzheimer's because she'd call 2 hours after I spoke w her asking the same questions!

I was looking for price comparisons of assisted living facilities. This SCAM of a site "A place for Mom" shows an image of a price comparison report on their website. I gave them my info and they said they would send it. Instead, I go bombarded with calls. THEIR BUSINES IS TO PRETEND THEY WILL GIVE YOU ADVICE, BUT JUST FORWARD YOUR NAME AS A "MARKETING LEAD". I think all the positive reviews here are just fake. I called to ask what was going on and they said they NEVER give price comparisons. (So why do they show it on their home page?) - STAY AWAY!

I called them a couple of years ago for information on assisted living facilities in Mooresville, NC area in which my mom (95) lived.

After that one call to a nice lady, I received at least 50 more calls at home in NH. Over the next 18 months many different people called; day and night. I told them to stop calling and they did not. I finally called corporate and told them to stop calling and they finally stopped. Do you know they are paid by only the living facilities that will pay them there fee. What this means, What about the best or safest facilities. They won't mention them? Make your own visits to assisted living facilities.

I have attempted to use their services twice, once for my mother and another time for my mother-in-law. Both times I found them to be only suggesting locations that we could not afford. Obviously they are being paid by the higher end senior communities. I found two local facilities that were one third to one quarter the cost and took care of my loved ones with the same if not better care and expertise. The saying "Buyer Beware" fits perfectly here.

Reached out to the Phoenix area place for mom representative just wanting some general information and I was bombarded by sales calls. I only wanted some basic information and recieved home based health care and every facility within 20 miles called me. I recently emailed the staff and asked a basic question regarding two rehabilitation facilities and she promptly told me they don't work with Medicare and to advise me to ask the facilities myself. It was rude with no concern for my mother. My advise is don't bother unless you like sales people calling every 5 minutes.

Sick of watching ads and remembering what a nightmare my experience with this company was when I needed help for my 95 yr old Mom. I am so in agreement with all the posts here; they say it all. I had already done some research of my own on places here locally and the results were dismal. I thought they could do better but they just kept recommending the same dumps. To find out they only recommend the places that pay them follows; those places couldnt get business on their own. Then to ice the cake, they got every other bogus help agency on my case and my phone became useless for a while until I put brakes on all the crap calls.

A Place For Mom needs to include in their advertisements that people should first call their State for info about recent State Surveys regarding any facility they are considering for placement. At the present time, A Place For Mom has a facility in Carmel, Indiana where an employee (possible Administrator) who has been called "unfit to practice" states she works. She was written up on the front page of The Star Press in Muncie, Indiana while being the Administrator at Lynd House. Https :// thestarpress. Newspapers. Com/image/*******/? Terms=Lynd%2BHouse She allowed a resident to administer insulin to another, on the "buddy system." My loved one entered the hospital- while being in her care with a whooping glucose level (over 1000) and the hospital staff referred to this as not only abuse but being a "comatose" level. This Administrator interfered in our family, caused division and drama and even took my loved one who had Alzheimers, somewhere to sign legal papers without my knowledge. He was not capable of giving consent. He remembered going somewhere with her and kept trying to tell me. I was his only biological relative and family member in the area. When I confronted the Administrator, wanting to know where she took him, she said she did not know what I was talking about. I later discovered the legal papers. She had her name added to his bank account and assisted in helping two people (who were 2,000 miles away) get Power of Attorney for my loved one. They did not even have to go to court... there is no national database, to my knowledge, for Power of Attorneys. There can be one in one state and one crop up in another. These two people whom the Administrator helped get Power of Attorney had an ongoing history of cruelty with our family and an axe to grind. At the hospital, they changed the family password, barred visitors (including myself) and my loved one spent his last days laying secluded in a hospital room. Then, to my horror, they ended my loved one's life without my knowledge this would happen. I hold this Administrator responsible for what happened to my loved one. I will move heaven and earth to make sure this does not happen to another family. When A Place for Mom promotes its services, they also promote this dangerous employee. She also has worked in New Castle, Indiana. I have talked with the State about her and I encourage everyone using A Place for Mom to call the State before choosing a facility. State surveys provide public info and it could save your loved one's life.
