Yes, e.g., if s/he is a danger to self or others.
Medicaid/nursing home status does not excuse one from paying taxes.
As long as you meet the non-financial factors of eligibility for Medicaid, the State will expect you to apply your "excess" income/assets to your nursing/medical care and the Medicaid will pick up the remainder of the medical/nursing bills.
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.
No, settling up with the nursing home(s) is not an eligibility factor for Medicaid.
yes and no...it depends on the type of home the resident is placed in..
No it is not income.
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.
Long Term Care insurance.ANSWER:Nursing home may be covered by medicaid but you have to pass some eligibility criteria, in addition, the nursing home facility should be certified by the government to provide service to medicaid recipients. Unless you have long term care insurance, you cannot choose which nursing home you want to be taken cared of.
It may be viewed as a "gift" from the resident to the employee. It would be best if there was clear indication that no coercion was involved in the resident offering it.
Feed the resident.
A nursing home may be certified by Medicare or Medicaid
Any change in the way an asset is held is a "transfer" of assets. The nursing home resident may transfer approximately $100,000 to the spouse living in the community without penalty. Otherwise, in general, if the State determines that the applicant or recipient did not receive "fair market value" for the transfer, it may decline to pay nursing home costs for the time that the transferred assets would have paid for that care. (Other medical assistance can be approved if the person is otherwise eligible.)
