I already did she is on a 43 month hold before medicaid kicks in because she would go to the bank and take out money in cash. No way to account for it.

Did you set of a caregiver contract with the lawyer so that she is paying room, board, utilities and for your caregiving? Also, she should be paying for outside caregivers to give you respite. Unless there is a contact in place, this looks like gifting.

Is there any kind of exemption anyone has ever been able to get. Medicaid said unless I come up with the missing money no Medicaid. Between my attorney and the state this is the way it is. I do not have the money she took out and no way to pay it back. She is going to be kicked out because she is out of money. They do kick you out if you can no longer pay. I have the letter from NH right in front of me. Even if I sold everything I still have to come up with missing money. I cant leave her homeless any ideas ? There is no care givers in my area able to help. Been there. I get nothing for taking care of her never have. She took money out of bank  in cash and gave it away Even the state can not trace where it went.

Ah, she's in the NH now?

She took the money out of her accounts....how? What do her banking records show?

You say her farm produces income? Enough to pay her NH bill each month, along with her Social Security?

Okay, I went back and I see that she took money back and gave it away.

I take it that her lawyer has no ideas.

Does SHE own the farm?

Are you her guardian? Are you living in her home?

Can she become a ward of the state? Or is that what you mean when you say even the state won't take her?

No money to keep her in NH. One year before going in NH she to money out of bank and gave it away. I am talking hundreds of thousands. No way to trace it. Even the state tried to trace it. No the state will not take her as a ward of the state tried that. I just keep her at my house and do the best I can. yes guardian. No farm does not make the 80 thousand to keep her in NH. Had to sell her house to buy medical supplies..special bed..etc Right now she is on a hold for medicaid or I have to come up with 380 thousand dollars. That means if I sell the farm she still has to pay 380 thousand to get medicaid. Nothing can be done..

How can she pay me ?? All her money goes to medical needs they do not just give away medicine. Insurance and meds is over 30 thousand a year. She does not take her meds she would be dead.
