I think mom should be in nursing home and my mom says she wants to go to one as she can’t care for herself. She cannot afford a care center and cannot get Medicaid due to having property in her name still. Even if she sells it now, Medicaid has a look back period so she can’t get aid.
Are there any alternatives??
Is the property in question mom's home or not?
Her home is a non-countable asset for Medicaid.
If she owns property besides her home, it should be sold and the proceeds used to fund her care.
That's why people save. To be able to take care of themselves, right?
