Alabama Family Trust is a very caring trust. We have been just amazed at the far-reaching benefits of the trust as far as helping people move forward. It helps them not just get their basic needs met, but going above that making their quality of life to the best it can possibly be.
Paula Thornton, Nurse Case Manager
When both of my parents developed dementia, I didn't know how we would afford the care they needed. They had spent their lives as hardworking school teachers, but nursing home care was overwhelming financially. Alabama Family Trust helped us establish a trust, guided us through the Medicaid process, and gave us peace of mind knowing my parents' assets were being managed properly. I no longer had to constantly worry about how we would pay for their care. The team at AFT was compassionate, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I can't imagine going through that journey without them.
Wallace Davis, family member and now AFT board member
Alabama Family Trust is approved by the state. It's approved by Medicaid. Medicaid loves people to use AFT. As a nursing home administrator, I have families come in every day and they'll say, ‘My mom has $200,000 so I'll see you in several years.’ But those funds can be put into AFT and used to buy services and items for their mom. Don't wait until you’re out of money before you come see someone that can help you set up an AFT.
Charlotte Hooten, Fair Haven Nursing Home in Birmingham
After my motorcycle accident, I felt like my life was gone, that I wouldn’t be able to do for myself like I used to. I was ready to give up. Alabama Family Trust saved my life. They helped me get the electric chair that I wanted, and I am so grateful.
