"My sister and I are really pleased and think Magnolia Glen will be a wonderful place for our mother to flourish and have a better quality of life. I can't thank you enough for the tip that led us there! We would still be looking and considering options if it wasn't for you. Thank you!"

"Thanks so much for all of the information and assistance. A Place for Mom made locating an assisted living community for my father easier than I could ever have hoped. Dad is doing very well. This transition was so smooth for my Dad that he went through the entire move with no panic attacks. Change is a difficult thing for anyone and the older we are the tougher it is. Thank God for services like yours to help us."

"You will be glad to hear that my sister Ruth is very happy at Springhouse. She has many people with whom to talk, and there are always interesting activities planned. Last week one of the activity directors got her involved in a bridge game. Although she had not played for many years she still had her point count card and the score card - it was a lovely afternoon for her. We can't thank you enough for all your help."
