The only problem is she has and IRA in her name ITF her three children. Mom has been living with my brother for the past ten years. In the last two years my brother and I have taken care of her.

Re: Mom's long term care
You are going to have to list the IRA as an asset on the Medicaid application paperwork and spend it down for mom's care. Sorry.
Good luck.
