Need Information On Nursing Home Care For Mom
A myALZteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am needing advice on nursing home care for mom. She does not own her own house she lives with us. Has a little investment and owns some land.

I paid $200 for an hour consusltation with an ellder attorney. He said he coudl get my husband on medi-cal so I could put him in a care facility when needed. When we met he said the only way they could do that was if he was in a hospital first. He has nothing. I own our home and car and i have small investments
I think I paid $200 for nothing.

All I can tell you is in Indiana any assets in her name can be seized for nursing homes up to 3 years from a sell unless proof of what the money was used for. My dad and uncle had to give back their inheritance to the state because it was given only 1 year before she entered into the nursing home.

Hope that starts you on the process of finding out!

Invest a small amount of money in a visit with an elder law attorney. Take a few fays to write down questions to ask. Quiz other family members for questions as well as friends and pastor. Social security, and hospice.
