[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious what will happen to elderly 71 year old disabled parent who is medicaid in a nursing home. We pay nothing. Would she lose her spot in a nursing home? [/quote]
71 is very young to be in a nursing home. She is not elderly.  I am assuming she is otherwise disabled, as opposed to being elderly, so that is likely what will impact her status. [/quote]

Elderly is a medical concept in this context and 65 is the age one is considered by medical professionals to be sadly elderly. If you make it to 75+ that’s late elderly. Many Americans have serious health conditions by the time they are early to mid 60s which is why mid 70s is the average age life expectancy for Americans. The better educated and wealthier tend to live much longer because they didn’t do a lifetime of body crushing work and they had easier access to preventive health care and high quality diet etc.

Not sadly elderly, EARLY elderly
