If the property was in the name of the decedent then it became part of the estate. If the decedent owed a debt to the nursing home for care it provided that was not covered by insurance or any government benefit the nursing home can make a claim against the estate. The estate must pay the debts of the decedent before any property can be distributed to the heirs.

Are heirs individually responsible for mishandling estate?
The heirs aren't the persons with the authority to "handle" an estate at all. If a person died owning property their estate must be probated, an estate representative must be appointed and the debts of the estate must be paid before any property is distributed to the heirs. Probate laws govern the distribution of a decedent's estate regarding creditors and heirs. If the court appointed estate representative mishandles the estate they are held personally responsible. If heirs convert assets to their own use, with or without the appointment of an estate representative, the "heirs" are held personally responsible and may find themselves in court for taking the decedent's property and not paying the creditors and/or the other heirs.
