"I would not be able to say how extremely helpful your advice and information you have given me has been to me! I would not have even thought about the Heartlands for my parents and it is such a great place for them to live! You could not have done any more and it has been great corresponding back and forth with you!"

"I would like to thank you, and A Place for Mom, for being there for me when I started learning about eldercare and senior living, and embarked on the actual search. Your sound advice and caring guidance provided me with the support and encouragement I needed for this hugely responsible task."

"Mom is doing fine. She is becoming more familiar with things and is adjusting to the daily schedule that she much needed. This whole transition has been much easier than we had ever anticipated. I tell everyone about what a great service you provide for people with this difficult decision in front of them. Not only did you help us find a suitable place, offer good advice on what to look for when we toured, you also provided an understanding ear at a time when we needed someone the most. I could not ask for anything more. You were terrific and I will never ever forget about A Place for Mom."
