Re: house vs assisted living
The assisted living facility not take "control" of the house. You may be thinking of Medicare or Medicaid. I would recommend that you and/or your mother consult with an attorney if you are concerned about Medicare or Medicaid.
Re: house vs assisted living
Who is "them" that will be taking control of the house? No one takes control of another person's property without their express permission or due process of law.
Unfortunately this is a more serious question than can be answered here. You are looking for Medicaid planning which involves a very close look at the facts and circumstances in each case. There are many, many questions which need to be asked; your issues with mom's house cannot be adequately addressed here.
Good luck to you and mom.
