"I just wanted to give you an update. I choose The Devonshire as a new home for my father. The staff has been wonderful and I'm sure they will make the transition for my father as smooth as possible. They are also helping me make the transition. I worry too much and they have put my mind at ease. This has been a long tough road for me. I know as my father gets older he will have more needs, but I feel so much better that The Devonshire will be there to take care of him. I couldn't have done this without you and A Place for Mom."

"I send a big thank you for all you have done to help Vicki, my father, and me and especially my grandmother. Your research and recommendations made this daunting task easy and efficient. This week, my father, grandmother, and I visited five living communities that you recommended. We were fortunate enough to dine in three of them, thanks to your arrangements. Yesterday, we gave a deposit on a sweet studio apartment with a lovely patio at Crosswood Oaks. Although all of the communities we visited were delightful, Crosswood Oaks fits my grandmother's needs to perfection. And even though she is still getting used to the idea of moving and changing her life, which she realizes is the best for her at this time, she was impressed with the community and the various smiling and welcoming residents in the lounges and hallways. I think this new page of her life will be colorful and life-altering (exactly what she needs) and I thank you for making this a reality. I am grateful to you for all that you have done for us. You are making the world a colorful place and people's lives rich, full, and safe."

-- Jolie M.

"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!"

-- Debbie N.

Three nutritious chef-prepared meals are served each day in the elegantly appointed dining-room. It’s a perfect time for socializing with friends and neighbors. Our menu variety offers choices to accommodate residents’ special dietary needs.

Transportation is a key in maintaining independence. Which is why at each residence a climate-controlled bus is available for trips to appointments, shopping and group activities. Residents do not have to be concerned with the inconvenience of driving in traffic, especially during inclement weather.

Each residence has an activity director who plans activities both on and off-site. Examples of popular activities are movie nights, exercise and craft classes, and trips to local attractions, such as museums. In addition, residents can enjoy the game and billiards room, library, large screen television lounge and barber/beauty salon.

In each facility, nothing is more important than the comfort and safety of our residents. Each apartment features a sprinkler system, smoke detectors and emergency pull-cords that link them to resident-managers around-the-clock.
