"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."

"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."

"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."

-- Deanna B.
