My mother is in a nursing home. My father died last year, leaving a joint mortage (with my mother). Medicade has decided that her contribution for her care will now take all but 100 dollars a month of her income. this will not leave money for her life insurance, dental, clothes or mortage. What should we do about the house? Let it go back to the Mortage Co. ?

You are asking for a guess, since we have no idea of the details of the house, what is it worth, can it be rented, etc. In this situation, the best thing, by far, is to see an elder law lawyer in your area and take care of everything that should be done as far as your mothers well-being and property.
A great deal of information is needed to answer you. You should sit down with an expert in elder law and/or bankruptcy/debt law to help make the appropriate decisions.
