ComForcare Senior Services(R), A Place For Mom Develop Joint
Referral System
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- ComForcare, the leading
provider of non-medical in-home care to senior citizens and physically
challenged individuals, and A Place For Mom Inc., the country's largest
eldercare referral service, have formed a partnership designed to expand the
breadth of community resources available to both organizations' customers.
The agreement will result in ComForcare's pioneering in-home eldercare services
being made available to A Place For Mom's clients nationwide. Similarly,
clients, families, and colleagues receiving home care services from ComForcare
will be able to access extensive eldercare resources from the trained,
locally-based family advisors at A Place For Mom.
The agreement between the two firms is expected to provide ComForcare with
access to a sizeable number of underserved metropolitan markets nationwide,
abetting its aggressive coast-to-coast expansion program. The agreement also
broadens both companies' marketing and outreach efforts, providing A Place For
Mom with opportunities for their families needing home care, while ComForcare
franchisees gain a valuable referral source for new clients -- as well as a
partner who can assist clients whose needs cannot be met with home care.
"Through this alliance, ComForcare's trained experts in the caregiving field
have the ability to enhance the range of qualified community resources available
to clients and families, providing customers with the advantage of both services
in a single, seamless system," stated Blake Martin, Director of Franchise
Development, ComForcare Senior Services.
"A Place for mom is excited about the new relationship with ComForcare. It
allows us to offer our families a new resource to meet the needs of seniors who
want to maintain their independence at home," said Pamala Temple, President, A
Place For Mom.
Established in 1996, the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based ComForcare has rapidly
grown to include 29 offices in 16 states. The firm provides assistance with
activities of daily living to homebound individuals, such as bathing,
transportation to medical appointments, medication reminders, errand running,
and meal preparation to thousands of clients nationwide.
A Place for Mom Inc. is the nation's largest eldercare referral network serving
families who are searching for care and housing options for elderly loved ones.
These options include assisted living, Alzheimer's care, nursing homes, respite
care, retirement communities, adult family homes, and home care. A Place for
