In most cases, a nursing home cannot take your savings directly. However, if you enter a nursing home and require Medicaid assistance to cover long-term care costs, they may assess your financial situation. Medicaid has specific asset limits, and any savings exceeding those limits may need to be spent down on your care before you qualify for assistance. It's essential to consult with a legal or financial advisor to understand your rights and options regarding asset protection.
