BACKGROUND & ORIGIN
Why Vanessa Started Elder Resource Strategies
Vanessa holds a Master of Social Work. For 14 years, she sat across from families at some of the hardest
moments of their lives, watching them try to get a parent or spouse into long-term care while the
Medicaid process pulled them in every direction.
Most Medicaid planners come from law. Vanessa comes from social work. She built Elder Resource
Strategies because families needed someone who understood both the paperwork and the person filling
it out.
Elder Resource Strategies has served families in Omaha, NE and Council Bluffs, IA for nearly five
years.

She listens first, then explains the plan in plain language without legal jargon or confusion.
