This is a very broad question, with no definite answer. There is no clear intended, desirable answer present within this question. If your parent goes to a nursing home, then try to visit them often, don't abandon them, if they are a good parent. Also, make sure that they are not mistreated, because nursing homes are known grounds for public misconduct.
No they can not make you put your parent in a nursing home.
There is no limit on the amount of money that your parent can give you. You want to do this before they go to the nursing home because the home will take all of their money.
No; but if you can not properly care for your parent, it is wise to follow the recommendation of hospice staff. That is what they are trained to do.
If you are "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security and living in your parent's home, your parent can probably transfer the home to you without penalty.
No, but Medicaid might suspend coverage.
There is no provision in Medicaid for assistance in moving a recipient from one residence (such as nursing home) to another. I suspect the same is true for Medicare.
The nursing home can only take it if it has been less than 5 years since the Trust was established.
The parent must consent to the sale.
Yes - but the proceeds must be used for her medical care or other legitimate expenses.
When choosing a nursing home for an elderly parent, consider factors such as location, quality of care, staff-to-resident ratio, cleanliness, safety, activities and amenities offered, and reviews from current or past residents and their families. Visit potential facilities in person, ask questions, and observe the environment to ensure it is a good fit for your parent's needs and preferences. Additionally, consider the cost and insurance coverage to ensure it is affordable in the long term.
Some insurance policies will cover a short nursing home stay if the primary caregiver goes in the hospital. Certain out of pocket expenses may be charged based on the level of coverage.
