"A Place for Mom prompted this retired NY State worker with an extremely rare muscle condition to think about his current situation and how it could be better. Thanks for all your help."

-- Don G.

"I took my parents to Meadow Lodge in Chelmsford MA yesterday. I think this is a great place for them. They can share a apartment and my dad will get the extra care he needs. My mom will have the freedom to have an active life and know he will be cared for by the staff. You don't know how much of a relief this is not to put him in a nursing home. In May 2007 they will be married 60 years it is great that they can stay together. Thank you so much; you've been a great help to someone who didn't have a clue."

-- Kathy M.

"Thank you once again for your wonderful help and assistance with this very difficult situation. Mom is in Merrill Gardens and appears to be very, very happy about it. She misses Dad terribly but she gets much more support from her new friends than I could have ever given her. Mom participates in every single activity without any hesitation. We are still making every effort to get Dad there too. Thanks again, I could not possibly articulate how much I deeply appreciate everything you have done. "

-- Everett S.
