A Place for Mom Reaches 500,000 Family Reviews, Giving Families a Clearer View Into Senior Care

Each review reflects someone sharing a firsthand experience to help another family navigate one of life’s most difficult decisions.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A Place for Mom (APFM), the nation’s leading senior care advisory platform, announced that families have shared 500,000 reviews on its platform, creating the largest collection of firsthand senior care reviews in the industry.

The search for senior care is challenging and deeply emotional. Provider descriptions can tell families what services are offered, but reviews help them understand what care is actually like. Through the firsthand experiences of other families, they can learn how residents are supported, what meals, activities and the social environment are like, and what to expect from receiving care at home. This caregiver perspective brings greater transparency to a deeply personal decision and helps families make a more informed decision for someone they love.

Behind each of A Place for Mom’s 500,000 reviews is someone who took the time to share their experience in the hope that it could help another family facing the same difficult and emotional decision. Reviews provide an important caregiver perspective, but no single source can tell the whole story. A Place for Mom encourages families to consider reviews alongside licensing information, direct conversations with communities and agencies, professional guidance and in-person visits. More than 75,000 reviews have been added since 2024, reflecting the continued desire of families to share what they have learned with others.

“Our goal is to help every family feel confident that they are making the right decision for someone they love,” said Tatyana Zlotsky, CEO of A Place for Mom. “Reviews help make that possible by turning one family’s experience into guidance for the next. That firsthand perspective helps families understand what care is really like, ask better questions and move forward with greater confidence.”

Reviews are part of the broader support A Place for Mom provides to the more than 20 million families who visit its platform each year. The service offers personalized guidance and connects families with more than 15,000 senior living communities and home care agencies nationwide, making it the largest and only marketplace of its kind.
