Highly Recommended

Attorney Allaire wasted no time in assisting me to get my husband approved for Medicaid. I was unsuccessful when I attempted it on my own. He and his staff were very professional, and always available to answer questions or help with problems when they arose during this process. To sum it up, Attor...ney Allaire is kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable in elder law.

My family retained services by Allaire Elder Care for transition of my father’s assets to qualify for Title 19 designation by the state. There was an enormous amount of work to recover documentation that was required by the state for approval of his case after review. Allaire was a valuable partner i...n the very complex process by developing a plan and a step by step procedure to accomplish the ultimate goal of acceptance into the state system of a live-at-home benefit designation. Title 19 coverage that is extended to its beneficiaries was important for my father’s quality of life because he is being cared for in the house that he built which is a far better situation for him than institutional living. There are many more benefits that Allaire Elder Care offers including a VA benefit and their service allowed us to leverage their expertise to access an accrued monetary award since my father was a Navy Vet! I highly recommend Stephan O. Allaire and the service his team provides to negotiate the very complicated system of elder care. They are worth every penny! They helped my family provide a perfect quality-of life experience for my dad and helped us give back to this very important person in our lives!

Title 19

A big thank you to Stephen Allaire and his team for guiding our family through the process of getting my Mom qualified for Title 19. They helped to make a very difficult time much easier. A special shout out to our case manager, Jessica. She was always available to answer our questions and to keep ...us on track for documents that needed to be submitted. True Professionals!!

Extremely Competent, Very Through and Personable Professional

Attorney Stephen Allaire and his staff did an exemplary job throughout the past six years planning for my mothers financial future and representing her throughout her application for Medicaid. The knowledge and experience of his staff social worker and paralegal made the application with the Connecti...cut Department of Social Services for Medicaid go smoothly and in a timely manner My mother who is now 96 is in a at home living environment with 24/7 care and is happy and doing well. So glad he was able to guide our way through a process that involves a broad diversity of knowledge to a very positive outcome.

I was looking for expertise on elder law and medicare for my brother who was a stroke patient in convalescent care. My goal was to get him home where i could take care of him and make a better quality of life for him. When i met with Attorney Allaire and his team i was so convinced they understood my... goal. With experience , they had as much determination as i did. I hired the team and to my surprise they played a very active role in my day to day preparations as well as visiting my brother . While some days seemed tough and frustrating they never let me lose sight of my goal and cheered me on. With that being said 10 months later I was taking my brother home to live and the team was right there with me . Life matters and it cant be dismissed to just accept what's not perfect and its wonderful when you come across people that get it.
