Stephen O Allaire

Attorney Stephen Allaire and his team professionally guided me through the process of qualifying my husband, who is ill with a progressive disease and also was stricken with a life-threatening bacterial infection, for medicaid while preserving my own assets. They know what to do and how to do it wo...rking with the people who review the cases at DSS. They let me know what I needed to do and answered all my questions and assured me things were moving in the right direction. While working with the team, I felt they really cared what happened to us and were working in our best interests. They put me in touch with the people I needed to contact for home services and kept checking with me to find out if everything was going along the way it should. Charlotte Audet and Darlene Bossi were so supportive in this regard. I feel fortunate that I was able to hire Attorney Allaire and his staff to work with me. They got me through a difficult time and process. I highly recommend them.

When my 93 year old Mother came to live with us I felt we needed direction and assistance to give her the best care and keep her home with us. Atty Allaire and his staff met with us and explained what was available and going forward what would be needed to help my Mother and help us take care of... her. He and his staff spoke directly to my Mother and this was important. Just because she was 93 did not mean she couldn't speak for herself. They allowed her to maintain her dignity. That was very important to her and to me.

My sisters and I were very concerned for our mother's health as she grew older and more frail. We scheduled an appointment and met with Attorney Stephen Allaire of Allaire Elder Law. There was no pressure for us to hire him as he explained what he could do for us. We gave it some thought and agreed... to a "life care plan" for our mother. He explained to us what help we were to expect as mom's condition changed. We were assigned a care coordinator to help us. we had Charlotte Audet who guided us though the stages of care we could expect mom to need. Shortly after, mom developed pneumonia and was hospitalized. From there she went to rehab in a local nursing home. Daniella was assigned to guide us through all the details of our decision to have mom return home with a 24 hour care giver. She met with us at the rehab during the discharge planning meetings. Her expert advice helped us get though some difficult decisions. She helped us set up a Pooled Trust so mom could live out her life in the comfort and safety of her own home. The help we received was phenomenal. We were never told what to do. We were guided along as we made decisions. Information as to what to look for in an agency and what we could expect. We selected an agency and we were satisfied with the recommendation. Shortly after, mom came home with a 24 hour live in care giver. Since mom's money was running out fast, Jessica Sevigny was our liaison to help us navigate the process of getting mom accepted on the Medicaid program. It was a long process and many, many emails and trips were made to deliver the necessary documents. I could NEVER have done it without expert help. Mom is now at home with the help she needs thanks to the help we received from Allaire Elder Law. We highly recommend Allaire Elder Law to anyone looking for expert, care and knowledge in helping give a loved one the dignity of the life they deserve.

We hired Stephen Allaire to advise us of how to handle moms money and to do the work to get her put on Medicaid. He, and his staff, were very knowledgeable, professional, and timely in getting the work done. They were always available to answer our questions or provide guidance. They were very tho...rough in putting the Medicaid application together. It was a very positive experience and mom is now on Medicaid and everything is running smoothly.

My mom was 85 when she was no longer able to care for herself. Although she was physically healthy her mind lost its ability to function. There were so many decisions to be made, almost all with legal implications (sales of house and car, her care, veteran benefits, medicaid, power of attorney, hea...lth proxies, among others). Thank goodness I was aware of Stephen Allaire's firm. Their legal expertise and their kindness and understanding guided my thru one of the most difficult times of my life. I will always be grateful to Stephen and his staff. Deb C.
