I have used "A place for Mom" now for 11 months. They have done little other than make appointments at facilities and are never on site and they don't seem to take notes on what we are looking for. They shoot gun out appointments (this ties the facility to them) and then they make the family do all the work of sorting out the difference between facilities. Then when you ask them to stop representing you and ask for an exit strategy, they go dark... they won't respond. They are none responsive, so they have tied you into every Sr. facility in the area because of the shoot-gun appointments. They get paid because they made a inquiry on your behalf. What a lazy racket. Stay away from their none-services representation.

I happened upon A Place for Mom quite by accident, and I couldn't be more pleased. They were able to point me to an agency that has helped my friend get quite a significant extra monthly income! They also helped me weed through Home Health Care and interview different agencies.

Both were very helpful and very nice and they will also answer all question. Plus the nurse Debi was my Support to help me talk to my brother. Coordinator Keri was so helpful in finding the right place. I can't say enough about A Place For MOM

I looked for the right place for me for about a year. I looked at many places all over the Phoenix valley until I came to the Clarendale of Chandler. I had a positive feeling, The residents were happy, the staff were very nice and the place felt comfortable. The Villa was small, but very nice, comfortable and very well kept. I liked all the amenities, including my pet's acceptance, which was very important. The community felt welcoming.

A Place for Mom did a great job finding assisted living communities within the metropolitan area where we live and we have signed a contract with one of them. I was not quite prepared for the number of emails that I received from both a Place for Mom and the communities they vetted for me (it was a little overwhelming) but through them, I was able to find a good fit for my in-laws and are looking forward to their upcoming move!

A Place For Mom helped me so much with finding an assisted living placement for my father. I emailed them on a Sunday afternoon and very shortly after someone contacted me by phone and scheduled tours for the next several days. My dedicated consultant to Gregory ** was amazing. He checked in periodically to see how the tours had gone, and if there was anything else that I needed. He was extremely attentive and interested in helping me to achieve my goal.

A Place for Mom was very helpful in connecting us with facilities that met our needs at a price we could afford. When the calls were too frequent, they understood that I preferred less calls and respected that, but still kept us informed of useful information.

I'm posting a concern with my observations of staff at Grand Montecito Memory care in Las Vegas 0n 4/24/26, NV. First of all, we found this facility to be well maintained, clean, has friendly staff and highly recommended by A Place for Mom. During a visit with a family friend the Medication tech came in to bring him his meds. He asked what she was giving and her response was "fus - something like that". I asked what is fus and she laughed stating that she couldn't pronounce some of the names. I asked her title and she indicated "Medication tech". On inspection I identified it as ferrous sulfate or more commonly "iron" tablet.
I understand that a med tech does not have sufficient training to discuss pharmacological information. My concern this person is administering meds and can't accurately respond to basic questions. Residents of memory care facilities have varying levels of cognitive function in addition to other possible co-morbidities. Some of them have taken medications for a period of time and know what should be taken. It's unacceptable to treat them is such a disrespectful manner.
Soon after this encounter my friend's relative called me to come to the dining room. She noticed a resident slumped in his chair who was pale, drooling and unresponsive. I found him to be breathing, had pale color with cold sweaty skin. Several staff members hadn't noticed and started standing around watching without offering basic first aid -airway, breathing and circulation. The same med tech is in charge in the evenings. My friend asked her to call for paramedics, which she did. I stayed with him and continued to check respirations, pulse and alertness.
During the call the dispatcher directed the med tech to get the defibrillator. Only one of the 5 or so staff members present, including the med tech knew what a defibrillator was or where it was located. We stayed with him until the paramedics arrived and took over. I am seriously concerned about the safety of residents with staff who demonstrate lack of basic training. Today's incidents and a few other minor concerns have been discussed with the facility director.

A Place for Mom was just what I needed to find the perfect senior living apartment for my mother. She was moving from California to Michigan and basically starting over a new life here. Cynthia at Park at Franklin did an EXCELLENT job touring the apartment, and leading us through the process of leasing. My mom is so content and pleased. A Place for Mom has a good system to gather what you are looking for and finding what best suits your needs.

I feel most uncomfortable leaving full address as I left them my contact info and they gave it to some realtors. Then a bank that needed/they thought to give me a huge Loan. What Does this service do except mess with other people's brains. I was looking for an 80 yr old and they called 11 times a day. Then the apartment we were able to find had to cancel because of construction. When 'A Place for Mom' gave to us a reminder email I told A Place for Mom that They/Lyn... had to cancel. I hesitate to give them One star. A Place for Mom put down We or I had cancelled. Suddenly 'A Place for Mom' finally realized we were only looking: what I had told them on the original intake.

Mom needed. These reviews are bogus. Check on Yelp - you’d be better off googling senior care facilities and checking reviews.

While the person who assisted us in finding an assisted living facility for my mom, once there was a problem with the facility, they left us hanging. The representative from APFM told me we could place my mom in a facility on a trial basis (and we even had a deposit on hold in another facility because of that). The first place do not work out At All, and we moved her out in 3 weeks. However, the facility continues to send me an invoice every month to charge us for a month of rent because we did not give a 30 day notice (again, she only stayed there for 20 nights).
When I contacted APFM for help to talk with the facility, they said there is nothing they could do. It was APFM who told us we could do a trial basis, but they wouldn’t take the time to discuss with the facility on our behalf. Meanwhile, we also learned in this process that the “community fee” is ONLY charged when using APFM or another representative. Of course, when I asked them to discuss the community fee with the facility since we don’t use them, they also refused to do that. It was later that I found out that’s where they make their money. What a racket.

We originally reached out thinking our budget wasn’t going to be sufficient to find a decent place for our mom. We called A Place For Mom and they really took the time to understand our needs and budget. They were able to recommend a couple of places right away, and several others contacted us shortly after. We visited a community for a tour and within a week and a half had mom moving in and giving us the boot from her apartment there.

A Place for Mom helped me find options for assisted living residences for my mother who was moving in from out of state. They followed up regularly to check on progress and see if we needed additional assistance. It was a big help as we were new to the area and unfamiliar with the possibilities. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again if I need additional services.

This business is creating web sites with lists of nursing homes that accept a particular insurance - with all but one business having different phone numbers. Every single number goes to a APFM representative. So you think you are contacting the business directly But You Are Not!! what a waste of time. I did speak with the first rep who told me they did accept X insurance and then transferred me to another rep - who let me know that they did not accept insurance, only private pay companies. This caused me to waste a considerable amount of time calling each "company" until I realized what they had done. Why hide behind such practices if you are a legitimate company?
