Thank you.

The search for assisted living for your parent can be both emotional and overwhelming. A Place for Mom helped ease those feelings with their knowledge and assistance. Location (equal distance between my brother and I), cost, rating and levels of care offered were important criteria in our search. They made recommendation to assist in our search. They followed up frequently and offered guidance as needed.

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.

The stress relief you needed!
October 3, 2024

I highly recommend advisor Becky Mayer and A Place for Mom! Caring for a senior loved one and making the big transition to a new home is often a very stressful process and APFM was truly the concierge we needed. Becky helped my with my dad's last 3 moves, including one cross country and two in which I was in a tight time constraint. Her background and knowledge working inside senior homes was valuable. She was kind and patient in her counsel, listened carefully to my concerns, gave sound advice and responded promptly to my needs. Within 24 hours, Becky reached out to and identified communities that would be a fit for my dad. At one location that was out of our budget, Becky took the extra step to start discussion with the sales rep in order to get costs down and she continued to offer her help to negotiate. With her assistance, I was able to get to a good price and move my dad into our first choice location. So glad to have Becky and APFM as my trusted go-to for help!

So Caring and Helpful

I was informed at the last minute that my bedridden husband was being discharged from rehab. I needed to find a place for him immediately. I spoke with Scott at A Place for Mom and within minutes, I had many phone calls and emails and found the perfect setting for my husband.

Find mom a place to be cared for
October 1, 2024

The help we received was phenomenal. Our laison, Lois, did above and beyond in guiding us, setting appointments, advice and answering questions. The journey has been long and hard but made so much more bearable with them helping us. We did choose one of the Memory Care centers which they connected us with and it is going well. We are very pleased and it has eased our hearts.

Hospice Care in a Community

This service helped me quickly find a Senior Community for my husband that was entering hospice care. Home was not an option for us at this point.

The community was wonderful in helping me set this up.

Finding a new home!
September 27, 2024

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.

HELPFUL
September 27, 2024

I was clueless in finding someone to assist with my mother in law. I needed in home care for a few hours a few days each week. Ad I did not need someone with medical training. It was such a pleasure speaking with Elizabeth Wolfe. She understood my needs and gave me the information I needed to start my search. I have been contacted a couple of times since the initial conservation to see if things were progressing. I appreciate the help and kindness so very much. Thank you A Place for Mom.
