Senior Planning was extremely helpful in assisting my mom with her application to ALTCS. We would not have been able to navigate the process without the expertise of the entire team. Thank you for working with us to help our mom receive the care she deserves.

To begin with, this approval process is a journey. My situation with my mother was a bit more complicated in that she was slightly over the allowed income and had a modest savings in her checking account. This required me to open two different types of Trusts. I would never have been able to do this on my own. Joanna helped me every step of the way. She guided me through all the forms and procedures. When I became overwhelmed, she was able to bring me back to the step by step process. She is VERY knowledgeable about ALTCS. Because of her knowledge and efficiency my application was approved on the first try. It does take time to gather all the documents and create the trusts. My journey was about 7 months.
I cannot say enough about Joanna and the great job that she did for me and my mom during this very difficult time. Senior Planning has a winner with her.

Amazing results. Great company. I was trying to get my mom approved for ALTECS for around a year and a half, it was very frustrating and alot of complicated forms and documents the state wanted. Someone recommended these folks and quick great results.
Very friendly and helpful throughout the process.
Special thanks to Joanna, amazing person.

Senior Planning was a God send for me. They helped us navigate the ALTCS Application. There were many delays and flaming hoops to jump through to get my mother approved for ALTCS. I don't know if I could have done it without Senior Planning help. A BIG THANK YOU to Joanna (financial) & Marcie (medical).
They're very patient and knowledgeable and kept things moving. They would tell me what ALTCS needed, and send me on my way to get it. This process did take longer than it should have, BUT it was mostly due to errors and delays from the facility were my mother is living. Overall I am very happy with Senior Planning. Thank you for your time and effort.

Senior Planning was a lifesaver for me. As luck would have it, I started researching ALTCS (Arizona Long Term Care System) to find a daily caregiver for my mom, who lived alone at the time. Although she was already receiving state assistance, I had read that qualifying for additional help can be quite difficult when trying to navigate the process alone. There are many intricacies that we’re not familiar with since we don’t deal with them regularly, and one missed step could mean starting the entire process over again.

After learning this, I realized that Senior Planning was exactly what I needed. Thank goodness I did! Just two months after I began the process, my mom fell and was hospitalized for rehabilitation. During her stay, tests revealed that her dementia had progressed significantly, and she had been hiding it from me. Her cognitive scores were very low, and the rehab facility recommended 24/7 care in an assisted living environment since she could no longer live alone.

I immediately contacted Marcie, our Senior Planning medical advocate. She quickly arranged interviews and completed the necessary paperwork for ALTCS to approve my mom's transition to full-time assisted living care within a week of her discharge from rehab. Senior Planning handled everything for us, collecting all the required documentation and ensuring that my mom was approved on the first attempt.

I cannot speak highly enough of Senior Planning. They truly saved my mom's life.

After much paperwork, emails and innumerable telephone calls, Senior Planning made it possible for my daughter 's application to be submitted and approved. So many working parts, so complicated that a average person could never have understood. I want to thank Joanna for being there to answer all questions. She was my life preserver and encouraged me. My daughter moved from hospital to hospital to receive care. Joanna kept me positive. God bless you Joanna, heaven holds a special place for you.

The team at Senior Planning from Marci always being available to answer questions and "hold my hand" to Joanna being able to answer ALL my questions and walk me through what the financial process language definitions were.... AWESOME, Professional, Patient, and most importantly KNOWLEDGABLE!! My words are invaluable compared to what they have done to help me with my mom's complicated ALTCS process. From the beginning of my overwhelming, emotional circumstances when I was blessed enough to be referred to them, through the FINAL approval and all the things in between, I am more than grateful to the WHOLE team for their wisdom, effort and support. They treated my mom and her application as if was as important to them that she was approved as it was to us!!
I recommend them beyond words for you and your loved ones to help you navigate this very challenging process! 5+STARS for certain!

The process for ALTCS approval is long and cumbersome but senior planning experts really made it possible. I’m not sure I could have completed this in the time we did on my own or quite frankly at all, they truly know what the agency requires and were able to help me submit a solid application for my parent. Be patient and trust your representatives ( Joanne and Marcie) and if you or your loved one qualify they will get it done. Thank you!
