A Place for Mom

I contacted A Place for Home for assistance in finding a temporary independent living facility for my sister. They provided information on numerous places that met our criteria and arranged private tours of each. My sister is very happy with the one she chose.

There is nothing more stressful, more emotionally draining, than being faced with such a decision for an aging parent. It's so overwhelming, that I literally didn't know where to start. Lisa, at a Place for Mom, helped me navigate it all by coordinating visits, sending me vital and very helpful information! It's a great service that is much needed at this stage of life.

When I began looking for help for my parent, a friend recommended that we contact A Place For Mom, as they would could keep the search from feeling overwhelming. When I first signed up, they were extremely quick in reaching out and establishing what I was looking for, then put us in contact with several agencies who would be able to meet our needs. They were helpful in both narrowing our search for Helpers and care facilities, as well as setting up tours and arranging interviews.

It's so hard to know where to start when looking for memory care for a loved one! I was helping a friend and didn't really know where to start. The hospital recommended several agencies that would provide guidance. I recognized A Place for Mom from their TV ads, so I called them. I was assigned to Stan as our advisor. After answering several questions, he narrowed down the search to ones in her price range and location area. This alone was a huge help. We were given great tips on what to look for and questions to ask when touring facilities. Several appointments for tours were arranged. Stan stayed in touch and answered questions quickly. We went through several requests for more appointments and chose the best place for my friend's loved one. I cannot imagine trying to do all this without the expertise and calm, supportive guidance of our senior advisor from A Place for Mom!

I needed to find a place for a senior citizen friend that was not in condition to return home from a rehab.
I was at a loss and receiving little to no help from the rehab facility. Out of desperation and some reluctance I heard the ad for A place for Mom and called. I will say the first week I was overwhelmed with phone calls and emails from multiple places for a few days that I wondered if I had made a mistake contacting them. BUT, after the initial surge and connecting with Martina things calmed down.
Martina listened to all my concerns, needs and details in reference to my friend. She narrowed down the huge amount of locations that would best suit my friend and connected me with to facilities that could work. It took a while to get my friend placed due to issues caused by the rehab. Martina stayed in constant contact with assistance and guidance through the entire process. My friend essentially ended up moving to Carnegie Assisted Living run by Tracy. Tracy is also amazing and without her help and intervention I believe my friend would have been stuck and lost to the system! Without Martina from A Place for Mom helping find a place and connecting me with Tracy, who has been a blessing, I'd have been totally lost. I believe both of these ladies saved my friend and has given her a chance to actually live and enjoy her senior years! CALL THEM! Be prepared to be initially overwhelmed but hand in and let them help you! It was the best decision I could have made for my friend! Thank you to all involved!

I've used this service years ago for my mom and my experience allowed me to be more relaxed and less anxious during a time of stress. Well, when we needed to find a new facility for our dad, I did not hesitate to reach out to A Place For Mom to help with our search. It again delivered. Thank you!

I reached out 2 years ago when it was evident my mother was unable to manage in home w/o assistance. Specifically I was interested in exploring in home care both agencies and private duty. The initial discussion also moved to assisted living options (although this was not my primary interest). I didn't think anything of it at the time but the contact sent a referral to Noel Manor. I ended up finding an agency that lived with my mother and provide 24 hour care. Mother's care then increased and she moved in with a sister who cared for her for 15mos. Again her needs increased and I had placed mother on memory care waiting lists. In January it became evident she would need to be placed in memory care. Your staff called before her move and being honest I updated them (huge mistake). Your staff sent a email to Noel Manor asking for a referral fee.
I did all the work! For your group to swoop in at the end and ask for one month fee is dishonest. I have experience in home care. I know the Assisted and Memory Care options in Dane County. Besides sending a referral to Noel Manor Assisted Living, I would like to know how you justify a $7000+ referral fee.
I have already complained to you staff with no satisfaction. You cost me $7,000+ (mother was to get the 1st month free d/t a special at the time). You can call me.
I would hard pressed to recommend you agency to anyone looking for assistance.
My number is *******933.

My Place for Mom advisor, Connie, was so helpful at a very stressful time. She identified 6 assisted living homes in my immediate area, sent reviews, helped me make tour appointments and was a calming and supportive presence when I really needed that. Although we'd lived in the same home for 45 years, entering the search for Assisted Living was a whole new world and I was not aware of several of the homes on Connie's list. My husband is now settling in to a beautiful facility 3.5 miles from home that I wouldn't have found without a Place for Mom. Thank you, Connie!

Meredith was exceptionally helpful throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer questions and concerns and willing to jump into a more proactive role as needed and requested. She certainly made the experience of locating an appropriate community for my mom so much easier than it would have been on my own. Thank you for everything, Meredith!

A Place for Mom was incredibly responsive. They reached out the first day I contacted them, assessed my needs and gave me four suggestions that day for places that fit my budget. I contacted two of the place that same day, and within two weeks had settled on a place. My Mom moved in last week and the place exceeds our expectations. A Place for Mom was there the whole time, following up after my visits and sending me helpful information about the move.

Called and got four appointments within hours to tour Memory Care Centers in the area. Added more as time went on and they were examples of different types of facilities which let us understand what was out there and varying costs. Also provided with several emails containing helpful information about different aspects of the process of finding the right place along with overall planning aspects.

Not only did they let me know about several places that met and even exceeded my criteria, they helped me know how to negotiate and get better deals. They walked with me every step of the way.

The agent is worked with, Rebecca Chamberlain, was kind and understanding. She helped me navigate a very stressful trail to find my sister just the right place... I appreciate so much A Place for Mom. They strive for quality as well as the right fit.

My advisor, Sean Hutchinson went above and beyond to listen to my concerns. He promptly sent me multiple places to visit and the service also provides for on line appointments. The attentiveness saved me a lot of time and footwork that I would have had to do on my own.

Kristin Howard is the best coordinator to work with! She made finding a facility for my husband very easy. Kristin set up appointments for my son & I to visit various facilities. The facilities she chose were all top notch. After the visit she helped coordinate various other items making it a very simple process to get me husband settled in.

This was so easy! I had one initial conversation with my Place for Mom counselor and we had a list of places to visit that met our criteria. They set up our first visit with an interesting home during that first conversation. The home followed up with us, confirming the appointment. This was so different from my earlier approach where I called places one at a time, only to find the cost was too high, or there was a waiting list, etc. We immediately found the right home for my sister. She is moving in this week.

After describing my needs, I was given a list of places to visit that met those requirements. After just visiting the first place, I made a commitment! The place is perfect for my sister and she is very happy there!
