Vital advocate
June is a vital advocate in a complicated process. There’s no way we could have gotten our family member on Medicaid on our own; there’s just too much to know and do, and it’s so easy to make a permanent misstep. It cost us a substantial amount to secure my parents’ assets, but for us it was very worth it. The nursing home would have devastated the remaining assets within a year and a half, leaving them destitute. June is amazing, timely, and worth it.
