Well it depends on what kind of health care you have. You might have had to "sell", more of a morgage really, on your house and you would have to repay the nursing home then to pay the morgage off.
Since you have this morgage you don't have to pay for the services right now.

Nursing Homes need to be paid. If you sell a house and then try to cry "poormouth" to get a government agency to cover the cost, you will be prosecuted. Just like bankruptcy, many States make you prove what items you have gotten rid of in the previous 5 years. Too many shysters trying to bilk the agencies.

Please forget about the American solutions. As that is within the UK and Ireland part of YA I anticipate that is in which you're. My reply is for England, despite the fact that I'm rather definite the principles are beautiful identical for the leisure of the UK. If any person demands to enter a care house they are going to be required to pay for this themselves if they have got resources over approximately £23,000. In normal the importance of the individual's house is incorporated of their resources, so obviously any one who owns their possess house will have got to pay for his or her care house expenditures. But, they aren't compelled to promote the condo. The neighborhood authority will pay for the care and placed a charging order at the condo. This approach they get their cash while the condo is finally offered. So although your mom is the only proprietor of the condo it nonetheless can't be offered from beneath you. However, your mom would no longer be the only proprietor. Was your dad the only proprietor or a joint proprietor while he died? Either manner its feasible he left the condo, or his percentage, to any person else. He will have left it in your mum for lifestyles simplest, beneath a believe. In this example she will are living in it however its no longer hers so it would possibly not depend while assessing her care house expenditures. Its additionally feasible that although it's in her title it would possibly not rely as an asset. This can occur while a near relative (ie you) who's elderly beneath sixteen or over 60 lives there - do you qualify? Also if in case you have been taking care of her the condo is probably not counted. To get an specific reply you have got to talk in your neighborhood council or a neighborhood solicitor. Edit: Something I forgot to say earlier than, is that although your mum is the authorized proprietor on paper, you would nonetheless have a rewarding curiosity that can't be taken away. This would have arisen if you happen to had contributed to the fee of purchasing the condo, paying the loan, or making enhancements. This is a intricate subject of regulation - contributing to daily expenses comparable to utilities or preservation does no longer depend.

If you are trying to get on medicaid you won't qualify because of the house sale. You would determine how the nursing home is paid.

The nursing home still wants money.
You sold your home so now you have income provided the mortgage is paid off. You have to pay the nursing home for providing services to you.

In any state, you have to pay for services rendered, so the nursing home gets its money. When all the money is gone, then you get Medicaid.

Again, then why are you getting "free" services at a nursing home? How is it free then? Who's paying for it? Tax payers I bet. Figures.
