About Momentum Family Strategies

Momentum Family Strategies™ was founded to help families bridge the gap between disability services and the real world for adults with disabilities. 

Our social service system offers extensive resoures for children, but when it comes to adulthood, you're on your own. Not anymore! 

We work beside siblings and aging parents 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.

Meet Our Team

Momentum operates through a blend of hands-on expertise, trusted collaborators, and smart technology — all designed to make support more personal, practical, and effective. 

We don’t just design systems; we build momentum — empowering families to take meaningful action and reclaim peace of mind.

The Momentum Approach

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.

Our Momentum Partners

We help families build momentum by working with professionals who understand disability services and real life.

Our partners include legal experts, financial advisors, clinical professionals, housing specialists, and community-based organizations who help families build systems of support that hold up in the everyday moments.

Together, we offer grounded guidance, practical insight, and the stability families need to take their next steps with confidence.

"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."
