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.
