Re: gifting

If your dad is concerned about protecting his money from nursing home costs, giving away money is one of the last things he should do at this point.

Gifts will create a "penalty period" where he wouldn't qualify for Medicaid nursing home care for a period of time.

If your father is concerned with having to spend all of his assets he should learn all the mistakes that can be made, such as gifts you describe.
