"I want you to know that the information and assistance you have shared with me has been greatly appreciated. I met with Lisa at Bridgeport Place to gather information, tour the facility, etc. Lisa was wonderful, upbeat, accommodating, understanding and most of all, she was not pushy nor did she ask any personal questions - she let me do the sharing. Your help has been invaluable to me and my family!"

"We made the big move for Mom and Dad last weekend. My husband, Jim and I were over there yesterday afternoon and they seem to be adjusting to their new surroundings very well. I can't say enough about Catherine at Elim Shores. She is genuinely a caring person and so helpful. I think we made the right choice for Mom and Dad and appreciate all the help A Place for Mom was in us finding Elim Shores."
