82-year-old woman can't walk, recent strokes. In reviewing her 5-year financial history, Medicaid found that she paid me for doing extensive work on her home in 2016 in order to get it sold. I didn't keep receipts because had no reason to at that time. Now Medicaid is calling the check written to me a "gift" and wants to penalize her for 4 months of nursing care payment. They won't pay for her care until June. Can nursing facility put her on the street?
I don't think the NH can street Mom, but I believe they can sue you for the bill if you are named in the Medicaid finding. NH can refuse to re-admit her if she needs hospitalization for a couple of days.
