I am currently the director of Wellness at a local Doctors office and run two corporate wellness programs.

I work as an Assistant Director of Operations for a Software company.

I think we have a leg up on a lot of places already.Hope that helps a bit - I dont even know if many elder law attorneys will understand the medicaid system very well - they may, but wouldnt hurt to talk to one and if the facility his mother is at has decent staff and the facility takes HCBS residents the executive director there should be able to help a lot as well.

My day job is Marketing Director for an international tea company, but I'm looking to add an alternative revenue stream. 

If you aren't required, go talk to the director of Residential Living because they will likely be impressed by your ability to purchase a home and give you a waiver.

However, I also see myself working somewhere that offers a live in apartment on the property (Apartment Complex PM or Residential Hall director for a college).

You can message me direct or friend request me for more info.
