You might as well do it yourself. A Place For Mom did nothing. I was looking for assisted living for my mother and was told by the referring nursing home they would set up tour appts. And all kinds of things. They called once and the only thing they did was give my name out to every assisted living place in town so I was inundated with phone calls. The "advisor" was in another city and did not know neighborhoods here. I had to set up all tour appts. And find prices myself. She did not answer emails gave me a long distance phone number and finally called back after we had chosen a place. I'm sure she got a commission for doing NOTHING.
I tried this place for some real help but was pretty much turned away When I said that we only had $4,000.00 per month that we could afford. My dad needs real help and I promised my mom that my dad wouldn't go to a nursing home. I was seeking home respite care and they wouldn't help. I believe that they are just looking for the quick buck from fools that would use them.
Can't believe the announcer on the Place For Mom television commercials is Chris Ruleman aka Chris Andrews a registered sex offender who served over three years in prison on child pornography offenses.
Same here. I found A Place for Mom to be pretty useful but I don't know how much I trust them. They are probably just trying to get me to place my loved one in an Alzheimer's home or some lousy nursing home they get paid for. But I still used them for leads.
I don't know what you guys are complaining about. A Place for Mom put me in touch with a friendly lady who gave me some good senior care options. End of story.
I was checking out this site. I was hopeful that it could be helpful. After reading reviews online, I am not planning to use this company.
I didn't find A Place for Mom to be very useful because all their "Senior Living Advisors" I didn't feel like I could trust since the company gets paid for placing seniors. So if the best option for one of your parents is to live somewhere outside of the A Place for Mom network of affiliates. The company tries to make it sound like it's okay that they get paid for their recommendations since their service is free for us, but I don't think it is okay.
A Place for Mom gets paid based on referral fees from the senior living communities it recommends and provides information on, so I find it very hard to trust any of the information on the site. That means their real paying customers are the senior living companies, not the consumers who use their site. Good businesses shouldn't take referral fees. Aplaceformom's tag line "Trusted Senior Living Advisors" seems spurious. Instead, I would recommend the federal government's elder care locator site: http://www.eldercare.gov/
