  • A Place for Mom

9/19/19

One of the most cold hearted, money-grabbing companies I have ever had to deal with.

If you ever call them for ANY reason of ANY kind, they now own you and everyone in your family and will legally go after any commission they can snag off your loved ones banks. Any time someone in your family moves into any senior housing or assisted living, they will claim them for literally thousands of dollars of commission each time they move until the day they die. Their entire structure is built of of 100% commission regardless of how much they have helped you or not. This is why many assisted living facilities have rejected them and dont use them anymore. They claim to care for seniors, but literally just claim a stake in their moves. I have talked to dozens of them and I'm sad to report that i have yet to find a single one of them that care about seniors more than money. Management is the worst as they are so money oriented. Each time your loved ones move they claim upwards of 95% of youd lived ones rent, which means the place thst is actually carrying for your loved one is losing money for the first 70-90 days your loved one lives at their new home.

Many people unintentionally use their services because they will Google the location of homes and not know they are clicking on A Place For Mom website. They are set up as predators. They will even claim to be the location you are seeking and not their own company.

I would advise to stay far away from them as any good and honest and reputable assisted living communities will NOT use them, which means they will steer YOU away from all the good ones unbeknownst to you.

APFM C. – A Place for Mom Rep

Hi Sheridan - we're sorry to hear you feel this way. We share a common vision with our customers: we all want what’s best for seniors. We aim to provide families with the knowledge and confidence to allow them to move forward with good choices for aging family members. A Place for Mom has more than 18,500 partners that span a wide range of care types and price points. We aim to add value to our partners by helping them market their community and connect with families that are a good match. Our service helps introduce providers to families and families to providers. These interactions would likely not take place without A Place for Mom making the connections. A service like A Place for Mom (APFM) can be a valuable resource for families navigating the complexities of senior care options. APFM is paid by our participating providers and communities (not families), which enables us to offer families a cost-free service. We prohibit any participating community/provider from passing through our fees to the consumer, charging additional amounts because the consumer used our services, or withholding discounts from the consumer.
