[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really sorry but this situation is definitely different from what would happen in the US. Medicaid laws are specifically designed to permit one spouse to remain in and own the family home while still being eligible for Medicaid which pays for nursing home care for the other spouse. I’m surprised that Germany forces people to sell their homes or take loans against the home in order to pay for nursing care. Medicaid does not require that a married couple sell their home.[/quote] No, but the "community" spouse who stays in the house gives up all SS, pensions, house, and Medicaid provides a monthly stipend. Cr*ppy way to live as the community spouse.[/quote]
