About Momentum Family Strategies

Momentum Family Strategies™ was founded because siblings of adults with disabilities shouldn't have to care for them alone. 

You didn't apply for this. At some point, the caregiving for your sibling with disabilities quietly became yours.  

It used to fall on Mom & Dad but...Now you're the one fielding the calls, tracking the paperwork, and making decisions for your sibling, on top of your own job and your own family. 

The services that supported your family through childhood are gone, your parents can no longer care for your brother or sister and nobody handed you a manual.

We work beside siblings of adults with disabilities to create clear, sustainable systems of care that last — because Life After Mom and Dad™ shouldn't have to feel impossible.

Here's how it actually works

Our approach blends real-life experience with clear, strategic insight—giving families the confidence and direction they’ve been searching for.

We bring together people, tools, and partnerships that make real progress possible — helping families move from confusion to clarity, from crisis to confidence, and from short-term fixes to lasting stability.

Meet the people who'll help you get the ball rolling

You don't have to wonder if the person on the other end actually knows how to help. Momentum is a small, credentialed team with specific expertise in the funding, support, and care services your sibling needs, built to stay with your family for the long haul, not just one phone call.

The Connections You're Missing

Does caring for your sibling with disabilities feel like an elusive game of connect the dots?

You shouldn't have to find the right lawyer, financial advisor, or housing specialist on your own, on top of everything else.

We work with legal experts, financial advisors, clinical professionals, housing specialists, and community-based organizations who already understand disability services and real life — so when your family needs one of them, you're not starting from zero.

"Before working with Momentum Family Strategies, I was unsure about our ability to qualify for an emergency SCL, and the process seemed overwhelming. I now feel empowered."

- Sibling

"Thank you for all the kindness you have shown my uncle and myself. "

- Nephew

"At first, I wasn't really sure what I needed help with. After my first consultation, things started to take shape, and I was beginning to head in the right direction."

- Sister

"Momentum Family Strategies is truly making a big difference in helping our family find the right kind of support, and we appreciate you for that!"

- Sister

"I wish I had enlisted Samantha's help before I did. It would have saved me a lot of frustration. I felt like I should have been able to do it without her, but the KY Medicaid processes are terribly cumbersome. I don't understand how anyone can navigate the processes well, without professional help."

- Sibling

"My sibling had been on the SCL waiver waitlist for years and felt completely stuck. I kept hearing ‘just wait’ from case managers, but my parents are aging and I knew there had to be something I could do now. I spent a year trying everything and the system wore me down. I was below exhausted trying to care for my parents, my sibling, and play games with the service system to get answers. No one knew the answers. Everyone told me something different. When I came across Momentum's blog post I knew I had to talk to her. Now, my sibling is getting services I didn’t even know were available."

"Last summer, I was unsure about our ability to qualify for Medicaid waiver services and the process seemed overwhelming. I now feel empowered."
