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.
- Lori Carlson - Jul 19, 2025

- Guy - Apr 20, 2025
I have used Senior Planning twice. Both times, they were efficient, quick, and caring. Without this company I would have not been able to get through all the requirements for *****. Everyone I have spoken to, took the time to explain the process. Everyone was always quick to answer phone calls and messages.
- Liza Partida - Apr 18, 2025
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.
Highly recommend these folks.

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.
- Brian Willmas - Mar 29, 2025
Senior Planning was great! They helped us navigate through the system to get my mom approved for long term care. They filed out all the forms for us and kept us informed about progress along the way. Definitely worth the price! Great job, thanks!
- David Lucas - Mar 28, 2025
Senior Planning was remarkable! My application was processed and approved in less than 60 days. I could never have been able to do this without their kind assistance. I highly recommend taking advantage of their professional staff and resources. The process can be overwhelming, and drag on forever without assistance. Thank you Senior Planning!
- Karen S - Mar 27, 2025
******!!! Finally!! The Team that was on our case kept up, and i know at times I Felt like giving up. Im so glad we hung in there. There were times my Patience was thin, and I applaud the staff at Senior Solutions, keeping up with all the Caseloads and keeping up with our caseload. Thank you so much!!!
- Darlene M. D - Mar 05, 2025
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.
- Darvina Ventura - Feb 27, 2025
Such an amazing company, they promptly had my Mom's ALTEC Application approved. So we can be comfortable knowing she's safe at her Memory care for alshimers. Marcy is awesome to work with along with the team and keep in contact with the family through everything.
Highly recommend SENIOR LIVING.
- Tina Augustine - Feb 16, 2025
this company dose not give up. the ladies have been so helpful. they stuck with it until they got us approved. it wasn't easy but they stuck with us. thank so much
- Monte Robbins - Jan 31, 2025
Senior planning helped me so much. I was not able to do all that was involved myself. They are very informative and great guides, as well as fabulous advocates.
- Kimberly Martinez - Jan 30, 2025
I have had a really great and professional experience with altcs Senior Planning. Each and every member of the Altcs Organization has been so helpful to me regarding qualifying my mother Rose Harper. They have spent time helping and explaining to me so much that I needed to know or do. I appreciate Marcos, Stephanie, Jager, Jacob, Christine and several others. Thank you so much for helping me with all the follow-through.
- Gigi Lesh - Jan 24, 2025
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.
- Mary Lou Roso - Jan 16, 2025
Christine and Marcie are professional, courteous, and they did an outstanding job for me and my Mom.
- Elizabeth Gardner - Jan 13, 2025
From day one Marcy, Joanna and the Senior Planning team made the application smooth for my mother’s long term care needs. Marcy was always clear, quick to respond, professional, and personable. Joanna provided updated checklists along the way for items needed to complete the application. I would recommend Senior Planning to anyone going through senior care arrangements on behalf of a loved one.
- Sheryl Benavides - Jan 03, 2025
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!
- Shannon Goldstein - Dec 27, 2024

- Mary Beth Nobs - Dec 26, 2024
Senior Planning was a pleasure to work with..Everyone that I worked with was very pleasant and helpful...Getting my Mom qualified for ALTCS. I would highly recommend Senior Planning
- Richard Alvarez - Nov 24, 2024
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!
- Alexis Kelleher - Oct 27, 2024

- Maria B - Oct 08, 2024
Senior Planning was great and went the extra mile for us. I would highly recommend them. They helped us find a new adult care placement for my Dad (afflicted with dementia) and even helped us get out of the first facility (not qualified for ALTCS). My mom and I are very happy and will use them again if I need them.
- Jose G - Sep 23, 2024

Professional, reasonable, Siri knowledgeable, friendly. Their reasonable cost is priceless. Worth every cent of it. They took all of the stress, pressure and worry off of our shoulders and took care of everything efficiently and within an amazing timeframe. Stephanie and Christine kept us informed every step of the way and answered all of our questions. They know what they’re doing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for other services that they provide.
- Elinor Fibel - Aug 10, 2024
We just wanted to share our wonderful experience with Senior Planning! They were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the complicated Medicaid application process. Joanna Caujolle and Marcie Sandoval were with us every step of the way, providing invaluable support as we navigated this difficult time when my mom was diagnosed with dementia. Their assistance in preparing documents and clarifying the process was truly invaluable. I can't recommend them enough! Grateful hearts, and thank you, Senior Planning!
- Anna Orrino - Jul 12, 2024
It is a long struggle to get to the end. But they helped me along through the process. No way I could do this for my mother on my own. Thank you.
- Wayne Brown - Jul 09, 2024
They secured my approval quickly. Wonderful team to collaborate with. They're prompt in answering and returning calls. They simplified the process for me. I wouldn't consider doing this by myself.

- L P - Feb 10, 2024
This experience working with Sr Planning has been very good. The team members I worked with, Christine, Stephanie, and Jacob were so friendly and caring and easy to work with. I absolutely recommend their services, they were there for us during a very difficult time, and, we greatly appreciate their hard work and dedication to help get my dad taken care of
- S Weber - Jan 03, 2024
This was a very stressful process. Most days I felt like I was drowning. Every step of the way the team at Senior Planning stayed on top of this process. Pushing me at times, rather dragging me across the finish line. So very thankful for all they have done and continue to do.
- Robert R. Chapin - Nov 28, 2023
Thank you to Joanna Caujolle, and the rest of the staff for guiding me through this process. They were professional, kind and patient in guiding me through this process.
- Frank Dejesus - Nov 24, 2023
The team was very committed to getting the ALTCS case approved! They were also very patient with all my questions. Thank you, Senior Planning. So grateful for your help obtaining ALTCS!
- Kathy Bouras - Oct 23, 2023
The team at Senior Planning were fantastic. Marcie and Christine were so helpful and understanding. They took all the stress out of helping my mom get approved for the care that she needed. They guided us through the steps and made everything easy and took the stress out of a normally very stressful situation. It was particularly helpful for them to explain and prepare us for my mom’s interview, guiding us in the proper, but truthful way to answer the questions that would clearly represent her and define my mothers needs for care which was extremely beneficial.
- Stephen Summers - Oct 18, 2023
They provided an excellent service!!! I could not have navigated the whole ALTCS system without them to get my elderly mother the care she requires. Thank you to all but especially Marcie, Joanna & Jacob!!!
- Alan Brumer - Oct 11, 2023
- Becky Palmer - Sep 22, 2023
I am VERY PLEASED with senior living. I did pay the $ 1500.00 for help. And I am so glad I did. There is no way I could have done it without their assistance. Thanks go to to Joanna and Marcy. They help you along the way. I strongly recommend it. And never give up .
- Cynthia Feola - Aug 10, 2023
I am so happy to have successfully worked with Senior Planning. I tried on my own to qualify for ALTCS in the past, but was denied. Joanna and Marcie are professional, kind, understanding and give all indications of wanting to help. Ladies, thank you both!
We'll contact Senior Planning in the future when my husband decides his time is right.
- Judy Morris - Aug 03, 2023
I tried to do the ALTCS application for my sister the first time by myself, and was denied. I am one who usually doesn't ask for help, but working with agencies in another state than I live,and having someone a phonecall,email or text away is priceless,as I have no other relatives to help me with this. Christine really listened to me,frustrations and all and advised me and never gave up on the process, even when I wanted to more than once, but knew in my heart there was no where else to turn. Senior Planning is legit . Marcie was a God send also in helping find more affordable placement when I asked and helped save me $700/mo. When I was paying out of pocket for my sister's care. The director recommended we try for Veterans benefits,which my sister was entitled to, but could never get on her own. They referred me and Misty has been amazing. We dug and literally walked the streets for different documents needed,but our persistence paid off after 15 mos. I highly recommend Senior Planning. Well worth the money in my eyes for their caring support and guidance. All the staff I have been in contact with have been kind and caring and nice to have by my side.
- REBECCA Elsenpeter - Jul 19, 2023
Thank you so much Senior Planning! They are professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and trust worthy! Only thing I’d recommend before signing up with them is to have a full diagnosis first. Because that can take long time.
- Brenda Fischer - Jun 02, 2023
I could not have went through this process without them! This was a hard decision to make for my father and they helped me ever single step of the way! ****** and ********* have been absolutely amazing to work with!
- Amy H - May 19, 2023
Everyone I worked with was very professional, responsive to my emails and questions, and helpful. I could not have gone through this process successfully without Senior Planning.
- Kerry M - May 06, 2023
Senior Planning staff Christine, Stephanie and Marcie were super great to work with. They were there every step of the way from finding a place for my mom to helping navigate the tons of paperwork that was needed to get final approval from ALTCS . Communication was fantastic and would highly recommend Senior Planning .
- Barbara Lunsford - Apr 28, 2023
- Maximina Soto - Apr 26, 2023
Senior Planning was extremely helpful with the ALTCS application process. Without them my mother would have surely been denied. Highly recommend.
- Carla Keller - Mar 05, 2023
- Natalie Scholl - Feb 03, 2023
The people at Senior Planning are knowledgeable and friendly and helped our application get approved! It was nice to have people on our side giving us a very precise list of information we needed and steps to take.
However, I felt like the application took much longer than it should have (over 4 months) because there was information that they neglected to give me in a timely manner that could have helped it go more smoothly such as: recommending a bank up front that could open an Income Only Trust account without hassle; the fact that the trust had to be funded from a specific source within a very short time; and that applications have to be canceled and restarted if all that doesn't work out within a tiny little window of time.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done this on my own though, even though I'm pretty good at financial stuff, so I'm happy overall and would choose Senior Planning again. If we hadn't been required to set up the trust, I'm sure the whole process would have taken less than 2 months.
- H Gray - Jan 10, 2023
I unexpectedly had to move my mom from MT to ** and needed someone to help guide me through the ***** approval process. Someone at a facility recommended Senior Planning. ********* and ****** expertly led me through the financial and care approval process. They have a great process with excellent communication along the way. I really appreciate all their hard work.
- Clesson H - Nov 29, 2022
I needed to get my mother on ALTCS and into a nursing home because she needs skilled nursing care. I tried twice to make my way thru the ALTCS system and couldn't get approval. I finally hired Senior Planning to help me and mediate between me and ALTSC. I worked with Joanna and Marcie and they were both great to work with and very encouraging. They were sure they could get us through -- and they did!! We got approval last week. Yes it did cost me some money and it was worth every penny to me.
- Susan Schendel - Oct 26, 2022
I was lucky enough to work with Joanna and Marcie. They are both very knowledgeable, friendly and most important, they both were so helpful and kept me updated on every step of the application process. I would highly recommend Senior Planning in working through the ALTCS application. They were wonderful.
- Barb Sharp - Oct 24, 2022
Everyone at Senior Planning has gone above and beyond my expectations! They truly cared about the services they provide and the customers they are helping. I found myself lost with how to help my dad and the resources they provided were life changing for him. It was a blessing that I found Senior Planning! They are true professionals, excellent at their skills and exceptionally compassionate. 100 starts from the first phone call to the ongoing help and lending ear they provide. They never left my side during any process I started with them. From the bottom of my heart, I thank them!
- Megan Davis - Oct 01, 2022
These folks did what they said they would do. We spent 1 year + working on ALTCS coverage. Many rejections. These folks got it done!
- Dan Doty - Aug 17, 2022
A fantastic team who never gave up or slowed when it could have been real easy. A sincere thank you to everyone. G ******.
- Garry A - Aug 09, 2022
I am so grateful for all the help that senior planning was able to provide with getting my mom set up for Arizona Long Term Care. They truly know how to help families navigate the process.
- Ronnie Wilding - Aug 08, 2022
(2020) They are caring, and patient, I loved working with Jacob and Christine and Marcie. Without them, the process would have been so hard and lengthy. They helped me get the coverage I needed for my mother, and I trust them with our lives and future. I’d highly recommend them to anyone, and I’m happy to have them working with us long term ♥️ ( update 2022) I have had to use senior planning once again, but this time for another family member fighting cancer that had to move here suddenly. This made the process more difficult to navigate, and frustrating, but just like they promise, this company figures it out, guides you the way to go, and gets all your paperwork done correctly, and they don’t give up, they are truly a team working for you. Still two years later, working with the same 3, and it goes to show, good companies, keep good people, and they treat their clients well. If you need to get into long term care, I highly suggest investing in them, they return the investment 10 fold. Thanks for everything guys 🙌🏽
- tia rogue - Jul 29, 2022
I am so glad that I made the decision to employ Senior Planning to help me through the very detailed and demanding process. In particular a big thank you to Christine and Marci, without their guidance through this process I really don't think I would have been able to get it done by myself. A big thank you to everyone involved.
- Roselyn Berg - Jul 22, 2022
This application started out a little shaky however in the long run it was a very positive experience. It took longer than expected but our seniors planner came through with flying colors to get the approval completed in a timely manner. I want to Thanks Joanna Caujolle for working with us to get this done. She was a trooper dealing with my sisters and me and getting some documentation completed that was needed. I cannot thank her enough for the time and effort she put forth.
Thank you,
Family of John Willams.
- Debbie Pickerill - May 29, 2022
Jarvis got the ball rolling, Marcie & Christine worked so hard to help & succeed. It has not been easy being we started process before lockdown covid and everything changed.
I'm so grateful to have hired Senior Planning. It's work, to get a loved one cared for but less of a load with Senior Planning. Marcie & Christine's kindness & determination & work was so appreciated. During such different times & all, covid, and still thru thick & thin, they both kept stepping forward.
I am ever so grateful. 5 star
Thank you,

Meeting Jacob and Jaeger has been a pleasure! Jaeger sold my parents home, fast at an extremely great price.
We’re getting close to the end putting a trust in place in the near future. It’s been nice to work with people who have ethics as well as integrity. It’s a scary thing trusting others to have my parents best financial interest at heart, Thank you Jacob and Jaeger for doing so, I’m forever grateful.
- Lori Balter - Apr 29, 2022
I cannot recommend Senior Planning enough! They walked us through from start to finish with such ease and confidence. They answered my questions over and over and never made me feel like it was a nuisance. I felt like I was their only client even tho I know they are serving so many families. I am so grateful for the service they provide in such a stressful time!
- Annette Eilert - Apr 22, 2022
- Teresa Comstock - Mar 29, 2022
Senior planning was able to assist my mom get approved for ALTCS. Va Aid and attendance we’re still waiting on. Special mention to Jakob who accomodated all my questions and concerns at a moments notice. Marcie was a big help with the medical side. Christine assisted with submission of documents.
My parents assets were over the limit so they were able to help get my parents approved. The basic fees are reasonable. However I was surprised with additional fees that followed with moving assets to get approved. It was a substantial amount, I felt they weren’t upfront about it. As they explained fees though will be recovered once the benefits are received. Thankful to Senior Planning , my Mom got approved even with a penalty period.

I have retired in Senior Planning to help me find care for both my parents: in 2018 when my fathers dementia was too much for my mom, and again in late 2021 when my mom's health declined and she could no longer live alone. Both times, Senior Planning was able to provide timely assistance that was very helpful. I reached out to Senior Planning for infirmary more than once before asking them for help with placing my dad, and they provided lots of information and would occasionally check in to see if I needed anything more without hounding me (as so many services do!)
I have been recommending Senior Planning to people needing assistance with care for family family members ever since 2018 and will continue to do so. They are exactly what people need: the right information, at the right time, with no pressure and no fees.
- Tina Marie Rees - Jan 14, 2022
- Charmain Haines - Jan 12, 2022
Senior Planning will always have my sincere thanks and gratitude. I tried to qualify for senior care on my own and I was denied after weeks of work. My wife's caregiveing company told me about Senior Planning and within a few weeks we were approved. Very professional and knowledgeable organization. I would recommend them to anyone trying to find help for senior care.
- James Rossetter - Jan 11, 2022
****** and ********* both were immense help. We had many issues going into the ***** process and originally tried to do applications on our own. This quickly became a bad idea so we contacted Senior Planning. They not only helped get us approved but made sure the assisted living was on the same page. I can't thank Senior Planning enough!
- Abigail B - Jan 07, 2022
My mom was in need of a caregiver and I didn't know where to begin the process of personally becoming her caregiver. A neighbor told me about Senior Planning and I'm so lucky she did. Senior Planning took care of everything and took the stress out of the whole process. I will be forever grateful to Marcie Sandoval and Christine Casey, these two wonderful and helpful ladies were always there to answer my questions and kept in constant communication with me throughout the entire process.
I recommend Senior Planning to anyone who is looking for caregiving services for their loved one. Thank you again Marcie and Christine, I will forever be grateful for you help and guidance.
