[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to a CA based elder care lawyer. You should probably avoid doing anything that would make it harder for them to qualify for Medicaid, if needed. I think selling the house would be in that category but a specialized lawyer would know better.[/quote]

They are in AZ so I don’t know what a CA lawyer would have to say that’s relevant?  My parents have a home that’s worth a lot of money, that’s too much home for them. I don’t understand why anyone would subject their folks to Medicaid housing/living, if it could be avoided, given how dreadful a lot of those places are. The home is in trust so Medicaid could not attach it anyway. The ultimate goal here is for my parents to use their own asset for their own care, while BOTH are alive. When ONE passes, the situation becomes both financially and logistically easier to manage. Too many cooks, and all that.[/quote]

Sorry I thought OP's parents were in CA, obviously they should consult a lawyer based in the state where the parents are. Medicaid can pay for home care in some cases too and there may be good Medicaid nursing homes depending on the state (and if you get on a wait list early). My grandparents were in a great Medicaid nursing home. OP can't impovrish herself to pay for her parents care so that may be the only option. [/quote]
