Best Answer

Medicaid clients are allowed to keep their motor vehicles. [Exception: unusual vehicles such as RVs and antique cars.] In general, after a Medicaid client has lived in a nursing home for a given period (e.g., six months), the State will presume that s/he will not be returning home and, therefore, will expect the client to sell her/his home to pay for medical care. [Exception: the client's spouse or disabled child is living in the home, in which case the State will file a real estate lien to recover assistance provided when ownership is transferred.]
