History

A Place for Mom was founded in July of 2000 by Pamala Temple, MHA, SLP and John Temple and Brian Trisler. Pamala spent over fifteen years in senior housing corporations at the executive level. During her career, Pamala met many families in need of a better way to search for elder care resources. Thus, A Place for Mom was formed by combining passion to help seniors with knowledge and experience of the senior housing industry. The company's founding principle is to provide personal and professional assistance to families in the search of elder care options.
