My father and his wife live a few states away, and I’d like to get them looking at AL/NHs. When I did a search, A Place for Mom list came up with their toll-free number. They’re old. :) Is this a safe service to turn them on to, where they won’t get railroaded somehow? They’re in northwestern NJ. Thanks.

It is a joke that has no humor in the least.
Remember to ask for a discount or the best price available. Sometimes you can get a nice discount for the first 12 months.
If you don’t have the $ to spend, skip calling “A Place for Mon”, because once you do and give them your location they will assist in making referrals for LTC/AL. But not for indigent patients.
Once I told them my mother had a rent voucher from the State they could not provide any assistance with placement as they do not offer those services.
But then on the flip side if your mom is fortunate to have assets to pay for LTC/AL then you will welcome A Place for Mom’s services.
I’d rather check facts. Do my own research and get references from people who have been at the facility, tour places on my own. Ask people who have loved ones there for their opinion if possible.
Reminds me of when you fill out a form to get a prize. Yeah right, it’s just a way to get your address and phone number for future solicitation.

Same thing with blogs, podcasts, etc. Any social media platforms really are interesting ways to communicate.
My word, if our ancestors could comeback and see how things are done today they would be amazed! Their day, advertising was in the newspaper. Remember radio was huge, then television, oh my goodness, theater to silent movies, then all of these special effects. Hey, give me Hitchcock suspense any day! Progress huh? Some good, some disturbing and all of it fascinating. I like to listen to the people who follow trends sometimes.
Trends come and go. Things are cyclical as well. Look at baby names! Oh my gosh!
