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.

You are on Medicare If you go into a nursing home can the nursing home take your house?
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.

Can the nursing home take your savings?
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.
