I have lived and cared for my parents for years...they own the house. How can I place my mother in a facility that cares for dementia patients if she lives into the late stages of that disease? My dad still lives here...he's 90. Will a facility take the house?
If you are much closer to needing a NH, Medicaid will lien on the house. They will not take anything as long as the other spouse is still alive.
Dad's 90, do you want him living alone or would you want him move into something like assisted living?
