Personal Care and Assistance
August 9, 2025

Our experience with APFM was personal and attentive, which was essential to finding and placing our loved one in a suitable living space. Cathy Emerson did extensive work finding homes, setting up visits, and consulting on the most fitting settings in terms of financial, geographic, and personal conditions. Honestly couldn't have done it without her. Highly recommend Cathy, she works so hard!

We had great service, everything was explained, our agent, sorry I cannot find her name, was amazing. She found a great number of places for us to check out and followed up with us afterward. We chose Orchard Park at Victory Lakes and my mom loves it. They have onsite drs that come in from utmb geriatrics, the can do xrays, bloodwork and whatever the patient needs onsite. Beauty salon, and the cook is not just a cook but a chef. He has 2 raised beds where he grows his vegetables fresh and has been on tv cook show "chopped". The staff is great, friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you so much

I was the information gatherer for my 92 yr. Old cousin and her family. When I signed up on the website I received great information about what to look for in an assisted living facility. There were quite a few checklists that were very handy. I would highly recommend A Home for Mom.

The two people I dealt with were knowledgeable and quite nice. They kept in close touch, which sometimes was a bit much, but overall, they were great. They had excellent suggestions and helped us get appts etc.

I talked to Michelle & she was very helpful. She was able to give us guidance on what to look for & financial advice for a few states. I would start here if you are looking for a place for a loved one.

"A Place for Mom" made finding a place for my Mom amazingly simple and easy. I simply registered with them, gave them the necessary information, and they sent me a list of places that fit our needs and budget. "A Place for Mom" even arranged appointments to view their recommended facilities... we found a place the first day we looked. THANK YOU!

A lifeline!
August 1, 2025

Not knowing where to turn I called A Place for Mom. I received a tremendous amount of help and encouragement but my friend wasn't ready to give up her home so I put everything on hold. A couple of months later Karen gave me a follow up call. She helped me with strategies to encourage my friend to consider assisted living. The strategies worked. Karen also asked me a list of questions which allowed her to chose a place she imamagined my friend would like. I toured Brighton Gardens of Middletown and my friend moved into an apt there just yesterday. It is AMAZING! Karen has held my hand every step of the way and followed up often.

Everyone we interacted with with was kind and helpful. With soooo many options, it was a great time saver utilizing APFM's resources to narrow down places to look at. It was also great that they helped facilitate tours. I'd definitely recommend them!

When help was most needed
July 30, 2025

A Place for Mom was just the help we needed. Although we had tried for years to get my parents into a safe independent to assisted living community, it was emergency surgery that eliminated going home as an option. With one requiring great care and the other largely independent, we were at a loss for what to do. A Place for Mom was our lifeline. Moreover, we live out of state. Lisa was perfect. She guided us through considerations and even took time to meet dad at the hospital to explain what would be happening next. Highly recommend A Place for Mom.

A Place for Mom was exceptional in helping me find a respite stay for my husband. Every employee I spoke with was knowledgeable, patient and caring. They provided a list of places suitable for our requirements and set up appointments for me to visit several accommodations, and all free of charge! I highly recommend A Place For Mom.
