[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your mom lives with a partner, she's not willing to move on her own. Didn't anyone notice? She does not live by herself. Otherwise of course, you need to spend down mom's own assets before having to subsidize. You need to ask her what her and her partner's plans are. [/quote]

I did notice that. But living with a man who has dementia is potentially harder, more stressful, and more unsafe than living alone.[/quote]

Same. I noticed, but if he has dementia and hasn't put assets in her name, I am sure his children aren't going to accommodate OP's mom. Hopefully the house is solely in her name and can sell. Though if partner lives with her, can he be kicked out to sell? If the other 1/2 owner of the condo can't/won't buy her out, what recourse does she have?

It is highly unlikely that "mom" has LTC insurance, and will have to spend down assets in order to qualify for Medicaid when the time comes. Assets can't be given away or moved in the 5 years preceding applying for Medicaid. And then Medicaid can only be used for a Medicaid nursing home. [/quote]

good advice. They have two houses where they live remotely and one in Arizona, and a condo in Arizona they own jointly. Only one house where they live remotely is in her name. I understand and have repeatedly told her she will get nothing from his children.
