You can sell your assets, as long as you receive fair market value for them. However, doing so might put you over the asset limit for Medicaid in your State, whereupon you will have to "spend down" those assets to resume Medicaid eligibility.
do you offer detox at home and is it covered by medicaid/
Medicaid will file a lien on the person's home, which is enforceable when the home is sold. They will also file an estate claim.
Medicaid/nursing home status does not excuse one from paying taxes.
Yes. But you might be kicked off the program - UNLESS you meet with an elder needs lawyer to plan, in advance, of what can be done with the proceeds from the sale to legally and ethically protect your medicaid eligibility.
Because your mother is no longer an owner, I don't see how Medicaid could file a lien or estate claim involving the home. However, if your mother received little or no money in this transaction, the situation you describe sounds like a non-allowable transfer of assets, which might result in your mother losing eligibility for nursing home care for a period of time (but not for other types of medical care).
You should report having a dependant in the home.
yea
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.]
Not without permission from the court.
