Joe, Lauren and staff are excellent to work with going through the Medicaid process. I am POA for my mother-in-law, simply because no one else would! Her children do not... read more speak to her for good reason. Saying she is difficult is an understatement. Her look back period was anything but typical, including a corporation she had.

I can honestly say I would absolutely have given up on approval, but they did not give up and we finally achieved the goal.
