Client Comments

"I have been an attorney in private practice for 25 years. My private practice revolves mainly around trusts, will, probate and elder law. For the past two years, I have worked on and off with Joe Mitchell and Terall Blalock on numerous cases with my clients who have issues pertaining to Medicaid. Joe and Terall have been invaluable on countless occasions. Their knowledge of the Medicaid rules and regulations is impressive. Their ability to communicate their knowledge to me and to my clients is especially good, and above and beyond that, Joe and Terall provide a great service with a servant's heart and attitude. They have earned my trust and confidence and have helped save my clients thousands of dollars. "

"I am writing in appreciation for all the help your office has given in getting my wife on Medicaid. As with all families who have had to place a loved one in a controlled environment, it has been a most difficult time. Having never gone through this before, I did not have the first idea how to begin. Thanks to your organization, a difficult task has been made much easier, and I saved tens of thousands of dollars for my use during the rest of my life. I have told several families I met at my wife's memory care facility about your services and I am sure their families will be in contact with you. Thank you!!!"

"I would like to thank you for your help in assisting me with my Grandmother's financial concerns. I found the financial information you gave me incredibly helpful. I had consulted with an attorney here in Eugene and although she was pleasant to work with, I found her information to be lacking regarding the rules, which apply to Medicaid clients. I was referred to your office by my hospital's social worker, and I can only say how grateful I am that we were able to work with you! Thank you again and keep up the good work, for you are doing good for a lot of uninformed families."

"I am not one for passing out bouquets, however, in this case I feel the professional service I received from your organization could not go without comment from me. At the time of my first contact, you told me how the process would work. Much to my delight the process went exactly as you said it would, which saved a substantial amount of my parent's estate. With your advice my dealings with Medicaid went very smoothly. I was very impressed with your knowledge and expertise. Thank you again."

"My father had all his assets in a Living Trust. The trust salesman said it would protect them from Medicaid. After his third stroke we realized he couldn't live alone. We went to Medicaid, but they said they would count all the assets in the trust so he didn't qualify. My father was devastated. He figured he was going to lose everything to the nursing home. A friend told me about your organization. We called and talked to you about our situation. After looking at all the details, you explained what could be done and how to do it. The results were everything you promised and more. We were eventually able to protect over $125,000, and today he is in a care facility on Medicaid. I just wish we had found your organization before we found the trust salesman -- we could have saved even more."

"Your organization, more than anyone else, really does understand Medicaid eligibility."

"Your organization, more than anyone else, really does understand Medicaid eligibility. Without your help, my parents would have lost over $140,000."

"After taking care of my wife for several years I knew it was time to place her in an Alzheimer's facility. I was in shock when I was told it would cost nearly $8,000 per month. I went to the Medicaid office where they did an evaluation and then told me I would have to spend down $205,000 before she would qualify for help from Medicaid. Fortunately, a friend told me about The Financial Aid Center. In no time at all, they had her qualified for Medicaid. The monthly bill went from $8,000 to $938. I will be forever grateful."

"I was told by the state worker that I would have to spend at least half our savings and investments on my husband's care to qualify for Medicaid. One week after I first talked with The Financial Aid Center he was on his way to being approved for Medicaid. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't found them."

"Everyone told us that the only way for my mother to protect her assets from Medicaid was to give them away at least five years before going into the nursing home. Like most people we hadn't done anything yet when she had her stroke. We figured we were going to lose it all. Based on the recommedation of a social worker, we found The Financial Aid Center and learned that most of what we thought we knew about Medicaid was wrong. By following their directions we saved almost $75,000 of Mom's $95,000 savings"

"I have been helping my mother take care of my father until we had to put him into a nursing home about a year ago. At that time we went to Medicaid and they told Mom that she would have to spend nearly $250,000 on his care before he could qualify for Medicaid. They also said that if she spent it on anything that wasn't in accordance with the rules, he might be disqualified. They scared her so much that she refused to replace the roof on their house (which was in very bad repair) or her car, which kept breaking down. She was afraid that he would never get Medicaid. It was from you that we learned the truth. Most of what she had been told was flat out wrong. She had every right to use their money for her benefit. She fixed the roof, bought a new car and turned $170,000 into an income (approved by Medicaid) for herself. Dad was on Medicaid within a couple of months. If it had not been for you she would have continued to write checks to the nursing home until over two thirds of their life's savings was gone. I can't tell you how much your knowledge and information has meant to our family."

"From you I learned that my father qualified for a special exemption and was entitled to transfer his home to me and still immediately qualify for Medicaid. In three trips to the Medicaid office I had never been told this, and, in fact,was warned that if he gave his home away he would be disqualified for over four years. Without your advice I would never have known."

No one looks forward to having a family member enter a nursing home and few people (including many Medicaid eligibility workers) completely understand all of the Medicaid eligibility requirements. And to go up against the state Medicaid agency by yourself is just plain crazy. If you want to avoid having to spend down much of your life’s savings, you’ll need the help of a knowledgeable and experienced partner who is not afraid to go head-to-head with Medicaid on your behalf.
