I don't believe that a nursing home has the legal authority to file property liens, altho I suppose they could get a judgment from court and then try to enforce it. Medicare will pay for nursing home care for, at most, a few weeks. After that, the bill becomes your responsibility unless you qualify for Medicaid. In the latter event, the State will file a property lien and/or estate claim to recover the cost of care.

How much money will a nursing home take from you if you are on Medicaid?
Whether Medicare will pay for nursing home care is not a matter of how much money the patient needs. In general, Medicare does not pay for long term, "custodial" care, which is the reason for most nursing home admissions. Medicare will pay for nursing home care for rehabilitation; in such a case, the medical record must show that the patient is progressing.

There is a child caregiver exemption that you might be thinking of. Usually assets are turned over to nursing home/medicad but if a child has been living in the home, providing care, then that person can receive the home. Check around your community for an "elder law" attorney and get this done as soon as possible before nursing home is needed. All the best.

Can a nursing home take your home?
In most places the nursing home would first need to take you to court to receive a judgement allowing them to take your home in partial payment for the cost of nursing home services. If they are in the process of doing that, you need to see a lawyer. As far as I know, in Texas, a person's home cannot be taken to pay a commercial debt. However, medicade requires a person going into a nursing home sell all their property, including their home and pay the nursing home costs out of their estate until all that remains is something like $2000 before medicade will begin covering nursing home expenses.

If you pass away in a nursing home and you were receiving benefits from Medicaid, the state may seek to recover the costs of your care from your estate, which could include your property. This process is known as estate recovery. However, there are rules in place to protect a surviving spouse or certain dependents from losing their home. It's advisable to consult with an estate planning attorney to understand how your property may be affected in such a situation.
