What can the hospitals lawyer do to my mom, what can I do to help her and who is legally responsible to pay for this? Can she be forced to leave the hospital? Her medicaid should be approved in a few weeks. Her house has been in a life estate for almost 7 yrs.
Use some home value so you have more choice in nursing homes. Take out a home equity line of credit if necessary. In this area we have some facilities that are quite nice and will process the Medicaid application after a self pay period of two years. Against the law, yes. But this is probably the only way for there to be nice Medicaid facilities.
