Medicaid – Senior Housing
What are our Medicaid Benefit Limits vs Our Standards and Expectations:
Are you expecting all kinds of things from your Medicaid options but accepting all kinds of unhealthy adult home practices or standards from a placement home or facility instead? Those are some low standards with high expectations. Now this results with you being resentful, frustrated with the care your loved one is receiving and disconnected. There is a saying “unspoken expectations lead to resentment”.
Standards
Expectations
Golden Placement Specialist
- Limits – First, we help you understand Medicaid limitations we will need to keep our standards within those allowed parameters.
- Standards – Then, we need to figure out your standards, you need to identify something called your personal dealbreaker when it comes to housing your loved one. Our standards stem from our personal dealbreakers. Our standards are important. Do not minimize your standards by having 50 of them. Keep to a top 3 to 5.
- Expectations – Finally, people have tons of judgments about where their loved one “should” live and how things “should”. This will show up in our too-high or ill-conceived expectations. Lets avoid that.
Let me ask you have you ever felt disappointed or frustrated in a relationship? That’s it! That is how you know that your expectations in that instance with those parameters in that moment are too high and you slipped into Low Standardville.

Gwenn McNeal2023-03-09 Golden Placement Services answered! It’s really difficult to have to place an aging parent into a facility, but our family knew it was time. So I did some research, called 15 facilities, and managed to get on one wait list. I also called two companies that assist with finding homes, and they said they could not help. We were concerned we wouldn’t find a place, and if we did, it could be a very poor choice for our dad. Then I was given Golden Placement Services phone number and I spoke with a lovely woman named LaVona. That’s when everything changed! LaVona listened to our family’s needs, was understanding, and within days, she had arranged places for us to visit. How she found them, I don’t know, but she did! She met us there, listened some more, answered questions, and offered sage advice. We will forever be grateful for Golden Placement Services help in making this very tough decision. We absolutely know that my dad is in the right place to spend the rest of his life. And, we wouldn’t have that assurance today, had we not been connected with their wonderful service! They have blessed us greatly and we are sharing their information with others we know who are going through the same process. Maureen S.2022-10-18 Our family is so grateful for Diane and her company.
