Medicaid 5 year look back. My grandfather bought me a home in September 2011 (both of our names on title) and in April 2013 shortly after I got married his name was taken off & my name remained. I made payments on the house for awhile but with cash; it got to a point where he wouldn't take my money anymore and told me that's my house and to take care of my family. Here recently we have been in the process of selling my home (the house he bought in 2011) and moving to a new city but now my grandfather is going to have to be placed in a nursing home. He has enough money to pay for nursing home for 2 years but after that point he will be out of money. Now I'm scared not only is my grandfather not doing well but we might be punished with his gifts (house and cars) and with both of ours names still on the vehicles with the 5 year look back and then my family will be in a horrible spot.
If he is a WWII or Korea Vet ,(or Viet Nam), he can get $1, 788 toward private pay nursing or Assisted living, I can answer some questions off line.
