[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot keep your mother from returning to the home SHE OWNS. This isn’t your house.[/quote] In terms of getting her into a nursing home, Medicaid would require a spend down of all of her assets (including the house) before it would cover anything. I don't see how - in clear conscience - you can keep the house and send her to a sub par nursing home. The PP above is right - hire helpers for when you are out of the house and put an alarm on her bed. That is the kindest thing to do at this point. Also, contemplate the values of freedom versus safety. She would probably rather have a modicum of freedom than live a "safe" low quality life at a nursing home. [/quote]
