A Place for Mom

Like several who have reviewed A Place For Mom, I too, came to the conclusion that it's all about the money. I called to try to get an idea of what was available in the area where my mom lives so that when the time came I would know how to help my dad Place her. I was very clear that we were not ready. "Oh, we're here for you" the personal assistant said. And then months of relentless emails and calls followed, not just from A Place For Mom, but also from facilities that were on the list. Except for the facility my dad, on his own found by doing lots of leg work. Yet somehow, though I never made the commitment, A Place For Mom was able to charge the facility my dad, who never talked to them, a rediculous amount of money. I think that happened because they called me one day and asked my mom's status. Because this facility was on the list they gave me, and because my mom was there, no matter that I hadn't made the decision to place her there, they were able to get $4800 from that facility. I will be seeking legal action. I can't even figure out how they get the money when I never made the decision to place mom. My dad made the decision, not because I told him about the place but because he went out and pounded the pavement on his own. DO NOT CALL. A PLACE FOR MOM unless you want months of badgering from ypthem and the facilities they give your name to.

Each Tour was better than the last, and gave me what I was looking for, for mom

Kathy has been awesome. Checks in occasionally just to see how things are going but doesn't overdo it.

A Place for Mom was able to help find an assisted living facility for my father in 3 days that fit his needs and I was comfortable with.

On being discharged from a hospital stay, my doctor told me he would recommend my going to an Assisted Living Facillity for a while to recover fully. The thought of that terrified me as I have always lived independently, in my own home for over 20 years. The Care Coordination Team offered me several options and "A Place for Mom" was 1st one of them so I placed a call to them and almost immediately a lovely woman, whose name I have forgotten sadly, offered me whatever help I might need & told me Senior Faciliies would be contacting me & again, almost immediately several facilited contaced me with offers for tours. I spoke with reps from 2 facilities and was most drawn to Marcy@ Palmilla Senior Living, who offered me a virtual tour of her facility since I was yet well. She & I talked endlessly! We talked about all 3 options, from Memory Care to Assisted Living to Independent Apartment and/or Casita Living. Because I live alone she said she could put me in touch with movers to help me pack & move me and long story short, I chose Palmilla Senior Living and moved in last week. I couldn't be happier. The amenities & help they offer their residents is unmatched in my eyes. I would definitely highly recommend A Place for Mom for self or family members to everyone!

APFM was extremely helpful in giving me options on senior retirement facilities. All of the communities were very nice & very pleasant.

I made simple request to have some information sent to me via email and instead of have been inundated with push, annoying telephone calls.

I was in need of some assistance and each time this organization came through for me.
