Will changing my A Place for Mom preferences stop provider calls?

A marketplace preference change does not necessarily update a separate provider's record. Contact each identifiable provider directly with its own stop-contact request.

Can I ask A Place for Mom who received my information?

Depending on where you live, its privacy policy says you may have rights to request categories of information, categories of third-party recipients, access, correction, deletion, or an opt-out from sharing or sales. The company may verify the request.

Should I send identification with my first privacy request?

Start with the minimum information needed to identify the relevant record. Do not send medical records, financial details, government identifiers, or identity documents unless you independently verify the destination and the organization explains why additional verification is necessary.

Referral information cleanup

A Place for Mom shared my information. What do I do next?

Published July 26, 2026 · Source-checked against current A Place for Mom, FTC, and FCC guidance

The short answer: stop the A Place for Mom record, ask for the applicable recipient trail, and send a separate stop-contact request to every identifiable community or agency. One marketplace request does not automatically erase another organization’s record.

GeezerKeeper is independent and not affiliated with A Place for Mom or any senior-care provider. This is organizational guidance, not legal advice, and it does not promise that every call will stop.

What A Place for Mom’s current policy says

The policy says that when someone supplies a telephone number, A Place for Mom and contracted senior-care network providers may contact that person. It also says A Place for Mom may disclose information about a resident or person seeking services to senior-care network providers, which may then contact the person directly.

The same policy publishes a preference center, a privacy portal, and privacy@aplaceformom.com. Depending on where you live, the policy describes possible rights involving access, correction, deletion, categories of recipients, and opting out of sharing or sales. These rights are not absolute, and A Place for Mom may verify a request.

2. Stop the marketplace record

Use its privacy portal for applicable privacy choices.
Send a written request and save the sent date and response.

3. Ask for the applicable recipient trail

In the written request, ask A Place for Mom to stop contact and, where applicable, identify the categories of third parties or senior-care network providers to which the relevant information was disclosed. Ask for deletion, correction, access, or opt-out treatment only to the extent available for your location and circumstances.

Start with the minimum information needed to locate the record. If additional verification is requested, independently confirm the destination and ask what is necessary before sending anything sensitive.

4. Contact each identifiable provider separately

A community, home-care agency, or other provider can have its own record after receiving a referral. Send that organization a short, direct request to stop marketing contact and update or delete the record where applicable. A Place for Mom cannot control a provider’s communication system after the referral has been delivered.

5. Escalate persistent unwanted calls carefully

The FTC recommends recording the date you asked a business to stop and explains that the National Do Not Call Registry does not block calls. The FCC accepts unwanted-call and unwanted-text complaints; it says those complaints help enforcement and policy work but do not resolve every individual complaint.
