Re: nursinghome financing for a parent
The answer to your question depends on a number of different facts. The questions I would start asking include -- Is the nursing home resident married? Would the the son be considered a "caretaker child" under Medicaid law? What other funds are available to pay for care? Is the homeowner in a nursing home now or is she still living at home?
I've been practicing elder law for over a decade and have helped many families legally preserve their assets. Please contact me if you would like further assistance.

You should speak with an attorney who specializes in elder law. There are many possibilities depending on the circumstances of your case, including your parent's marital status, health and age, your status, and so forth.
