Terri Johnson -- A Place for Mom

I received this email last Tuesday, the day that Dad was admitted to the ER at Christus Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi. At that time we still had the hope we could move Dad up here to be closer to me and my sister. I spoke with the management of each of the places Terri Johnson recommended and was impressed with the kindness, warmth and genuine interest in making this next phase of Dad's life fun, safe and interesting. Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to get Dad settled here in Austin.

Terri Johnson is a great asset to her company, A Place for Mom. She knows the market well and respected everything we shared about Dad's situation, including the budget! Her insight and compassion made a huge difference.

Although we were not able to utilize this information for Dad, I wanted to share it with all of you so that you might benefit in your own situation.

Thank you for contacting A Place for Mom. As your Eldercare Advisor, I am here to answer questions and provide you with referrals and details on senior care options in your area. Again, there is no charge to you or your dad for our services.

As we discussed, I am sending you a short list of communities that should meet your dad’s needs. I can help you set up a schedule to tour, and please feel free to contact our partners listed below to learn more and arrange tours. The selected care providers may also call you to schedule a visit. After you tour, give me a call or I will contact you and we can discuss if they met your needs. If not, I can offer more options for you.

Please call or e-mail me anytime! I am always interested in knowing how your search is going and am ready to assist you in any way I can.

A Place for Mom, Inc. is a nationwide information service about eldercare options including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult family homes, independent living and home care agencies. Our role is to provide information and options that meet a loved one’s stated needs and preferences. A Place for Mom, Inc. has assisted over 450,000 families in finding care and housing for their loved ones since it began in 2000.

Facilities or agencies may be included in our service if they are appropriately licensed by the state in which they operate. If a participating facility informs A Place for Mom, Inc. that it has lost its license, for any reason, or if A Place for Mom, Inc. has received complaints of significant dissatisfaction by consumers which are documented and can be proved, the facility will be excluded from the A Place for Mom, Inc. information service. A Place for Mom, Inc. does not own or operate any of the facilities or agencies to which it refers.

In order to provide the information service to consumers at no charge, participating facilities or agencies pay a fee to A Place for Mom, Inc. Information about facilities or agencies is provided for each family based on the clinical, financial and geographic needs and preferences stated by the family or client. A Place for Mom does not endorse or recommend any facility or agency as we believe it is the consumer’s sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for a loved one or for oneself. The facilities which are provided are options to assist in finding the right care or housing. Families are encouraged to tour and ask questions of each provider to ensure they select the facility that best meets their needs. A list of questions to assist you in the selection process is available from A Place for Mom, Inc.
