Re: Going to a nursing home for care

There are many factors to be considered in regards to what the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA, Medicaid) requires for supporting nursing home care, and attempting to answer the question in a bulletin board forum would be too involved. I can suggest you talk with OHCA directly for their assessment, and ask if they have a suggestion for an attorney who deals with this unique segment of law. You may want to consider getting some estate planning advice before taking other steps.
