"You have no idea how much your calls meant to me and the help you have given me over the last few months. As you know, when I contacted "A Place for Mom," I was at a pretty desperate point in my life and didn't know where to turn. There were several places I contacted and you were the only one to actually call and speak with me. I received e-mails from the others, but no human voice. The concern and care you showed me was a blessing. I thought I was alone, but there you were telling me to relax and don't worry, you would help me with the task of finding the right place for "Dad". What a burden you lifted from me. What a gift you are to me and, I'm sure to the other families you work with."

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate your assistance with placing Ruth. We are very happy with the placement and her current residence is wonderful. The staff are excellent. Unfortunately Ruth is failing quickly and the end appears to be very near. I do want to say however your service was a blessing to our family. Ruth has many times over verbalized how appreciative she is of such a wonderful place to spend her final days. Again, I thank you so very much for the service you provide, not just for myself and my family, but for those I am sure you are assisting everyday"

"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."
