Re: medicaid nursing home

It depends on the way the assets are set up, whose name is on the bill, sign-in sheet, authorization, etc. at the nursing home. If the parent transferred property within past 5 years, it is possible for nursing home, Medicaid to review the transfer for value.

There are options on how to deal with these issues. If you would like to give me a call or email, I will be glad to discuss it with you further.
