A Place for Me
January 13, 2026

A Place for Mom sent me to two different sorts of places. One was not suitable and also way out of my needed territory. The other one, Holiday by Atria in Lenox, MA, was almost ideal. I spent five months there experiencing the possibilities of the place and seeing various suites until I was sure it was exactly what I wanted. Then I filed an application and competed the process and began my moving in adventure.

A Place for Mom was super helpful!
January 7, 2026

Kara has helped me from day one with my father-in-law's changing needs. She contacts me periodically to see how things are going, and has been great! When I first reached out, they set up facility visits for me, gave me financial information, and contact people. And that's really what I needed!

"Attention to Detail"
January 6, 2026

Representatives took a lot of time helping to find the best home and were very professional and knowledgeable. They gave us a lot of choices to consider and answered all our questions and concerns. I would recommend A Place for Mom to anyone searching for a suitable home for their loved one and their specific needs.

Following a dramatic increase in hospitalization, we needed to move my mother to a closer Assisted Living facility. Alycia quickly researched the area around us for what we were looking for based on a short conversation about our needs, and within a day had appointments at 3 facilities, with a couple of backups that we did not even need. Alycia helped organize visits to each and even provided some questions to ask and build on. Within a week, we had a new place for mom secured and moved her closer to us and the facility is fantastic! A HUGE THANK YOU to A Place For Mom, it took so much of the work off our shoulders!

A nice place that I could afford.
January 5, 2026

My agent/Cheryl was very courteous with her calls to me. She listened to what I said and understood my financial and medical needs. I now consider her a friend and could call her back anytime with any problems I might have. Thank you for your help.

Helpful person but …
December 29, 2025

The woman I dealt with was very nice. She recommended a facility for my very elderly parents that seemed wonderful. Unfortunately by the time I could get my mother just medically approved by the evil Arizona Long Term don't-Care people and put them there the service has been good one day and had the next. Maybe there aren't any decent places for seniors who aren't rich.

Joseph was an exceptional helper!

Our experience with Joseph was nothing short of incredible. He was there from the start, guiding us, educating us, scheduling appointments, following up, etc. Will definitely recommend to others!

Timely but misinformed
December 29, 2025

While I really appreciated the responsiveness and the help getting my mom placed so quickly (especially around a holiday week) my liaison misguided me to a location that does not in fact take Medicaid like I stated as a criteria. She also didn't take ownership of the mistake when I tried to talk to her about my financial concerns now.

I didn't know where to start when I started looking for assisted living for my mother. They were able to sort out her needs to point me to the right place. They are so informative. I'm glad I went through them.

Saved my sanity
December 22, 2025

My Mom just finished PT, and have no where to place her, as she was allowed to return to her Personal Care Home.

A Place For Mom gave me the name of a facility which I toured and found unbelievably perfect for her needs. Tomorrow she gets evaluated by personnel... fingers crossed.

Where do I begin
December 19, 2025

I started looking at places for my father in law but got quickly overwhelmed. Then I found A Place for Mom. They make the whole experience so much easier and shared resources with me that I had no idea were even available, such as a VA housing allowance (that's not the name of it, but that is essentially what it is). Thank you to A Place for Mom, but especially to Adair for all your help.

We just moved our mom into assisted living. A Place For Mom introduced us to a facility that I wasn't familiar with, but turned out to be a perfect fit. I highly recommend utilizing this service.

December 17, 2025

I wouldn't have known where to start without A Place for Mom. They were more than helpful. They realized what I needed immediately and set about making appointments for me. Start to finish, the absolute best. I would recommend anyone needing help with a placement for a loved one to use A Place for Mom.

Dawn is the Best!
December 15, 2025

Dawn was an amazing resource and support in helping my family find the next home for my mom. I was fairly certain that the resource part would be there, I did not count on the support piece. It was invaluable as the experience was more emotional than I was prepared for.

A Place for mom provided several independent living centers that met our criteria. Including distance from our home, quality care and well maintained facilities. We did contract with one of the living centers recommended by A Place for Mom.

Making a daunting task manageable
December 14, 2025

When my parents told me that they were ready to move into an independent living community, I wasn't really sure where to start the search. My wife talked to some co-workers and some of them recommended A Place for Mom. After making the obligatory "What about Dad?" joke, we called and got connected with Vicki, who immediately sent us 5 locations that fit what we thought Mom and Dad would like. She set up a visit for us at the closest community and followed up with us afterwards to make sure we had all of our questions answered. I have now learned so much about the various levels of care available and how different providers cater to those various needs. It was nice to have someone show us the ropes rather than having to figure things out on our own.
