NOT AS ADVERTISED! THEY CAPITALIZE ON THE DEMISE OF SENIOR CITIZENS! THIS SITE IS NOT FREE TO USE! Use your common sense and review the facilities in person. Do not schedule a tour just show up and go to the various buildings in the complex. Pay special attention to drug passes and talk to random staff members and residents. Everything is negotiable! Verify staff drug usage and check if their are any convicted fellow on staff or residing in the facility. Make sure they have plans for emergencies and hard-wired phone lines. Try a meal or two and make sure you have access to a nurse 24/7. I would record all conversations during their sales process and READ THE CARE CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT. Add all your needs to the CARE AGREEMENT and make sure they are in compliance with the state and federal laws! Make sure you check on your loved ones often. Questions, contact me, please. Thx

I started the process of looking for a place for my wife. She has early onset dementia. I filled out the questionnaire and did receive a phone call from initial screener. Call was pleasant enough. She understood what I wanted and how I was going to pay for her care. She assigned me a "case worker" (don't remember exact term used) by name and said I should expect a call within 24 hours. Well, seven months later I am still waiting.
Being a caregiver is stressful enough without the incompetence of other services.
I have placed my wife in a super facility where she is quite happy, the food is incredible and the staff is unbelievable.

A family member told me about A Place For Mom, and I contacted them and heard back immediately. After chatting about our finances and location, the advisor recommended some places and after a little back and forth and another round of nursing home options, we found one within our budget and proximity - it was one of their very first recommendations. APFM was seriously invaluable in reducing our stress and making it easy at this difficult time.

When my mother needed to go into an assisted living facility, I began searching for information from multiple sources. A Place for Mom showed up in my research. The consultant PUSHED me into appointments with several facilities, including those that were outside the area where my mother wanted to live. I cancelled many of them so as to not waste their time. She called so many times that I stopped answering the phone. We decided on a facility that I visited BEFORE contact with A Place for Mom. A Place for Mom harassed the facility for its finders fee, and when I wrote to the consultant about the situation, she did not have the courtesy to answer my message. She was rude on so many levels.

Words cannot do justice to the help and comfort A Place for Mom gave me and my family during a stressful time. I have spent the last month searching for the right' place for my Uncle. He is diabetic primarily but his health conditions have fluctuated so much over the last month that his care needs kept shifting. My Care Advisor, Layton Gaskins, was with me every step of the way guiding me with questions to ask when visiting felicities, checking in on my Uncle's status, adjusting his care needs with potential matching facilities. Layton was a calmness in a turbulent storm. I cannot image going thru this alone and thankfully with Layton, I was not! I highly recommend this service, take the helping hand and find the right' place for your loved one.

I really want to thank you for all the information, advice and guidance. It was extremely helpful at a time our heads were spinning and getting ready to explode. Dealing with a elderly parent is bad enough but one that has dementia makes it 10X harder. We love our Dad but could not continue to provide the care he needed. Your expertise was perfect timing. You guided us through the entire experience not only with step by step instructions for immediate placement but with advice on financial assistance that is available out there for him. I cannot thank you enough Sheyna!

These very kind people helped me find a palace for my Mom who has dementia and Alzheimer's. She had been living in a very expensive unit in Hermosa beach at 12,000 a month. She always smelled like pee in the other place. It took one week to find the kindest place with the most wonderful caretakers (Agnes & Ron) my mom ran out of money which means I have to work extra to pay for her expenses. At 3300 a month she is getting better care. Doesn't smell and is gaining weight on her frail frame. If I had done this 9 years ago, all that money could still be available to her and eventually to me. Instead I'm using my retirement money to pay for her. I wish I had listened to those commercials a long time ago. Debra

Mary contacted me when I first began looking for an independent retirement community here in Bryan. She set up several appointments with the options available here and kept in weekly contact throughout the process. We found a place that my mother and I both liked and got her moved in. Mother has fought the idea of moving for several years but now is so happy she finally made the move. She now says she should have done this years ago. Thanks again for all your help Mary.
