Medicare & Medicaid Client Testimonials – New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania
Geraldine Callahan is the consummate professional. I have recent first-hand experience with how thorough and dedicated she is towards her clients. Ms. Callahan was hired to gather and organize all necessary documents involved in a “Medicaid Look-back.” It is an arduous process, and was intensified by the circumstances. The gentlemen had gone straight from a hospital to a nursing home, so time was of the essence. The family was only able to provide minimal assistance. Ms. Callahan went above and beyond, tirelessly communicating and coordinating among the family, the nursing home, financial institutions and other institutions/agencies to obtain the necessary paperwork.
I highly recommend Ms. Callahan’s services. She is prompt and cares, and got an extremely difficult job successfully done. Along with her dedicated team, she assembles a top-quality product and excellent results.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you and your office did for me in my time of need. Because of all the intricacies with all the different bank accounts,annuities,and life insurance policies me and my wife had. It was as you know nothing short of grueling. You stayed with me through it all.Many months of very hard work on your part. Many phone calls and many emails. But as promised you and your office got it all done. I could go on and on about what you and Mr. Bernstein did for me and my wife who has dementia but it would take up 3 more pages. I asure you I will be more than happy to recommend your office to any of my friends who need someone that knows what they’re doing and included much needed compassion in a very stressful time. Agian, Thank you sooo much for months of very hard work.

Everyone at your firm did a fantastic job of getting my 95 year old mother covered by Medicaid. Everyone I dealt with was courteous,professional and personable. You got the process done in the time you said it should take and your fee was more than reasonable. No hidden surprises.
This process is exasperating at best and CFS took all of that off of me at a time when I didn’t need to be dealing with all government red tape. I have no doubt that had I chosen to take this on myself I would still be at it and wishing every day that I had paid CFS to do it. They know and understand how the system works and what is needed to satisfy the requirements.
You were worth every penny and I would not hesitate to recommend you and your firm to anyone going forward.

We first met Geraldine through the referral of our local Primary Care Doctor. She assisted my wife and me as we transitioned from workgroup coverage to Medicare, several years later my wife became ill and needed to be put into a long-term care facility. We did not have the funds to private pay; we did not know where to turn. Geraldine helped us obtain Medicaid to pay for nursing home care. She is a “God sent” She is such a resource to have in your corner. She truly is an expert in Medicare & Medicaid.

The process of applying for Medicaid was made easier by your explanations of the necessary steps required for the application as well as the paperwork required. My wife was always the person responsible for our finances. Sadly, I was left in the dark after she was diagnosed with Dementia. Geraldine and her team helped me organize and obtain all necessary documents required by Medicaid; there is no way I could have done this without your services.

When my father got ill and needed 24-hour care, I was suddenly plunged into the confusing world of Medicare and Medicaid. Little did I know that Medicare would quickly stop paying for his care after a limited number of days. I was left confused and not knowing what to do. A friend referred me to Callahan Financial Services Group after attending a class at the Parsipanny Adult School lead by Geraldine. Geraldine did what I could never have done alone, that is, she obtained Medicaid for my father in a timely way. I am very grateful for her help and support during one of the most difficult times in our lives.

Words cannot express my thankfulness for the support and help I have gotten and am still getting from Callahan Financial Services, Geraldine is God sent! Maria, her assistant, was right on top of the Medicaid application process. I was impressed by Geraldine’s extensive knowledge of Medicaid requirements, along with her genuine care and concern for her clients has made the process of filing so much easier.

Geraldine has made our lives less complicated because of her expert ability to guide us through the Medicare maze. Her expertise in this field has eliminated all the guesswork we would have had to muddle through on our own. She saved us valuable time in researching the best choices available, and we would truly like to thank her for her services. We will always be grateful, and because of her ongoing thoroughness, she always puts our best interests first. We never hesitate to refer our friends and family to her and would like to thank her for her personable nature.

As though turning 65 and applying for Medicare isn’t scary enough, you also realize you need a Supplemental Plan. The process of applying for Medicare within the enrollments periods can be so confusing. I met Geraldine at a class she was teaching on Managing Health Care in Retirement at the Essex County College in West Caldwell, NJ. She provided us with a free consultation to analyze our needs and make recommendations. She was honest, dependable and extremely knowledgeable. I continue to refer her to all our friends who are in need of healthcare planning to handle a Medicaid crisis or for guidance on Medicare.
