"Your expertise and guidance along the way were very reassuring. You lifted me up!!! You should feel very proud of the wonderful service you provide ?I am thrilled beyond words that I found you!"

"Thank you for you help in finding not only a place for mom but the right place for mom."

"I really want to thank you for all the help you gave me. I would not have been able to locate the wonderful choices you offered. I will refer others for your services. I cannot thank you enough."

"My family and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support you have shown to us. It wasn't a week gone by that we didn't hear from you by e-mail or cell phone. You are such a blessing to your organization and to each and every family that contact you will be blessed."

"Thanks ever so much for your help. After I talked to you on the phone on Friday, I felt a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Now, it is out of my hands."

"I have to tell you that we were beside ourselves worrying about finding a place for my father-in-law once he was discharged from Rehab after suffering his second stroke. We wanted to find some place for him that would meet all of his needs and thanks to your organization we found the perfect location. Not only will it meet his needs, but it's lovely. I can't tell you how well we sleep at night, knowing that our Dad will have the perfect place to spend the remainder of his years with us."

"A Place for Mom is one of the most helpful organizations we have ever worked with. My whole family appreciates the assistance and constant communication you provided and will always recommend you for others in need of this type of guidance."

"I can't thank you enough for what you did to help us...you were a godsend, and I mean that sincerely. I couldn't do your job, but I am so impressed with how well you handle this difficult part of life."

"I want to thank you for all the hard work you have put into finding my Aunt a place to live. I have dealt with many services but have never had the attentiveness you have shown to my Aunt. It was very hard for her to sell the family home and move into an apartment but you made the process so much easier."

"I can't thank you enough for the advice and resources you provided along the way. I truly believe my Grandma is exactly where she should be and your assistance was an integral part of the search process."

"I found you to be dependable, persistent (without being overbearing) and completely thorough in your research. I will, and have strongly recommended you to others."

"To be honest, the most valuable component of your services was pointing us in the right direction. We haven't lived in Cincinnati all that long and weren't aware of many of the places to consider. Your continued interest also was appreciated."

"We liked it so much that we took it! It's a really nice facility & a beautiful room. The staff was very knowledgeable & explained everything. They took their time & did not rush us. They made a difficult decision easier and were very helpful. I can't thank them or you enough for all the help you've given us."

"Thank you very very much for your services. You helped us a lot and appreciate it very much. Mom loves her new apartment at Clare House and it is much easier for her to get around. Thank you again."

"Please know that we could not have accomplished such a thorough and successful search without your direct involvement and experience. Pocasset Bay turned out to be perfect in every way and will make such a big difference in the life of my parents and our peace of mind. Thank you so much for the excellent support you provided me in what seemed an insurmountable task."

"Thanks for all your help and support. I can say without hesitation that this would have been a longer, harder and lonelier process without your assistance. In every facet of this experience you and A Place for Mom have been there for us in every way we could have imagined."

"Thank you so much for your help with finding an appropriate place for my mom. We have decided to go with The Heritage. Thank you so much for your help in this quest. You made my life so much easier!"

"My Mom is doing great, we could not be happier, she is busy every day. She loves her new friends, and looks forward to the daily activities. We could not thank you and A Place for Mom enough, for what you have done for our family. We were scared to start the whole process, not knowing what kind of facilities are out there, but our whole experience with you and A Place for Mom has been such a happy one, we could not be more pleased."

"This truly is not an easy task and I appreciate everything you are doing to help."

"Thank you again for all your concern and work with the information you supplied. Without your help, I'm sure the task would have been overwhelming. I have recommended your service to others."

"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 just can't thank you enough for your guidance and assistance in learning what retirement homes are in our area which may assist my Dad in choosing a new home. I told him about A Place for Mom and the various responses I have received from locations around Columbia. He was quite eager to review the brochures and various emails from these retirement homes. I can't thank you enough for providing us with much information to begin this journey!"

"Thanks so much for all the info! What a wonderful time I had with everything in one place. I have had calls from Hopedale and Independence Village. I have had the opportunity to visit the hyperlinks you have provided. The online community website is super. Thanks for two productive days in my searching."

"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!"

"Your service was wonderful, I know I never would have been able to make this happen without you and I am forever grateful to you! I will definitely refer people to you in the future."

"Thank you for that encouragement. I am amazed at his improvement, he is doing better then he was a year ago. He even said last week that he wished he made the move 2 years ago! He loves the food and has gained 12lbs since moving in. He apparently is playing the piano almost daily, which people seem to love and request songs. Thank you for everything."

"I wanted to let you know that my brother had a meeting at Sherwood Oaks and really liked it and I think my Dad really liked it too. My Dad's girlfriend is pleased as well since it is not too far for her either. So we are going to put him in the independent living portion of it. Thank you so much for your recommendation. I truly believe our search would have taken much longer had you not steered us in the right direction. I know God was looking out for me when I talked with you on the phone. Hope you are well and thank you again. "

"What a difference Parkview has made in his life already. I just want to thank you again for all of your help. My Dad is happy and having fun for once in a long time. I get to hang out with him more often now."

"Thank you so much for your help in finding suitable housing arrangements for my mother-in -law after she was displaced from her home due to flooding. I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by such a quick response from you and your ability to find a solution to our dilemma. I went to and toured The Rose of Waterloo immediately after your referral and was very impressed with the facility; I felt immediate relief and was so happy that you had directed me to something that seemed to meet her needs so well. Thank you again for your invaluable assistance."

"I can not thank you enough for the help you have given my brother and me. With so little of my own time to look into finding a place for mom and with the extremely high cost of flying between Alaska and Michigan, your resources meant that we could be efficient and successful in our search."

"Thanks to you and your company Mom is just fine, FINALLY! I checked on her today and she is making much progress arranging her room (with a little help from me and my family), and things are beginning to settle into a routine of sorts. All things considered, this is the best possible solution we could ever have hoped for. You did a great job."

"Thanks for all your help. It was a bit of a rough start for mom, moving from Minneapolis to St Paul. After a short return visit to her house this past weekend, she wanted to get back to her "home" at Walker. And she is so happy that the staff in the dining room knows her name and she is making friends."

"My mom is SO happy at Heritage Pointe. She has made friends and had a pretty easy move. Still a few things left to do but she has only 2 boxes left to unpack. She raves about the food and service. Everyone has been so nice to her and she's already feeling at home. I was so pleasantly surprised by all this. I thought the transition would be more difficult."

"Wendy, please let me give you a sincere thank you at this time. I don't know if I ever would have thought to call a place like this. What a positive this has turned out to be - so many people have to move their parents "unwilling' and I feel lucky, and so very grateful to you for calling me so quickly and setting me up with places that fit our needs."

"My mom is adjusting as well as or maybe better than we hoped. My family loves the place and we are happy she is in a safe, clean apartment. It's very convenient for us to stop in and visit, and we know she is getting good meals, even if she doesn't participate in anything else. You were a big help in giving us the names of places and I checked them all out, so I feel I chose the best place for her. I would highly recommend you to anybody that is in the situation I was in."

"After a couple of false starts and untold pain and grief, I can now report that my mom moved in to Heritage Pointe today. The journey to this point has taken 15 months, and I am emotionally drained but happy with the outcome. Thank you for the help you have given us. We would never have gotten to this point without your assistance."

"The latest news is that my mother has agreed to go to assisted living. The nice thing about this facility is that they have assisted living on the first floor then skilled nursing care on the 2nd and 3rd floor. There is a primary care physician in the front section of this community and since I needed to get a new doctor for my mother anyway, it all seemed to come together. You were a big help in this process. And yes, the communities/facilities you sent me were helpful too. Many of them contacted me by phone or email and they were very nice. Truly, again I want to thank you for being there for me. You were calming and caring as well as being a good listener when I needed one. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to have your support."

"Thank you and A Place for Mom for everything. Without you I don't know that we would have found this place. My Mom is so excited to get moved and relax from the burden of a house and yard and everything that goes with it. "

"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."

"I simply wanted to write and say Peggy with A Place for Mom has truly kept me sane. My mother’s situation left me feeling helpless when she had a heart attack and I was told she would need 24/7 care. She had not done any planning for this situation and I was left trying to find the right place for her within her budget constraints and I didn’t know where to begin. Peggy spoke to me on the phone for a very long time. She was gentle and concerned and she has been there ever since via email and phone even on the weekends. Your service is a God send and I feel fortunate to have a person like Peggy to help me."

"I had a gut feeling from the first time we spoke that you "had a heart and cared." This was a lonely battle until you came along. But thanks to you, my husband and I signed an agreement this afternoon for a loft apartment in The Virginian, for my brother. I can't tell you how relieved and comfortable my husband and I feel about all of it."

"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."

"Thanks so much for all of your help. It was very much appreciated and made this difficult process a lot easier to deal with."

"Mom is very happy. It is coming up on the anniversary of my Dad's passing and she is feeling it, but we are all here to help her through it. I am so grateful for all the help you gave me in the past two to three years. Your information and responses were phenomenal and I would recommend you personally to anyone. Thanks again."

"Thank you for your immediate response to my inquiry for information about a retirement community. I feel much more informed and less overwhelmed with our future decisions. I appreciate your time, energy, and sensitivity. Again, thank you for all the information and thoughts on our situation. "

"You have been a great help. Kind, caring and concerned every step of the way. You made everything so much easier on me, I couldn't have done it with out you, nor did I know about all the options out there. You will be highly recommended by me. I can't wait to meet you and give you a big hug."

"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 want to thank you for all your hard work and most importantly, your support. I really would have been lost without you. Mom is having a few (itsy,bitsy) second thoughts, but for the most part is feeling very positive about the move--a far cry from where we were a month ago. "

"I would like to take this time out again to thank you for your prompt and courteous response! I would like to offer you my gratitude for the info that you gave to me in regards to helping me find assisted living for my "God-Mother". I truly did not know where to begin and I am thankful for you (the organization and the website) for "guiding my steps." May you to continue to be blessed and be able to assist in giving blessings."

"Wanted to let you know that we've found a place for my Dad. Thanks to you! We are going to move him to Heritage of Edina. It looks like a really nice place. Thanks so much for all of your help and suggestions - they paid off so well!"

"Thanks to you I have a place to live. Since I talked to you I have been very busy packing and getting ready to move into my brand new home . The movers come tomorrow and I'll be in my new apartment tomorrow night! Can't believe it myself. Thanks to you I will have roof over my head and my treasures will not be thrown on the curb."

"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. "

"I just wanted to thank you for your help! What an awesome organization you all have there. We decided on the Dorchester in Pineville. My mother is very excited and I believe she will be much happier there!"

"I appreciate all the help you have given me. You certainly have made my job easier."

"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."
