Can my home be taken if my mother lives there but her care must be paid for?
The state cannot take your mother's former home since she no longer owns it, and the transfer to you by your mother two years ago should not affect her Medicaid eligibility because you are her disabled child. So, if your mother has to enter a nursing home, you will be able to apply for Medicaid for her without worrying about loss of your home. In addition, until your mother goes into a nursing home, you should check to see if she is eligible for Medicaid coverage of home care. This might also include payments direct to you as her primary caregiver.
