family member is mentally ill needs nuesing home care can nu

Hi Guest,

If the family member is on medicaid, then estate recovery can take place on certain grounds. Medicaid can recover the estate if the person is 55 years and above of age and is permanently under nursing home care. The state can recover amounts which is spent by Medicaid for a long-term care and costs related to drug and hospital benefits. This also includes Medicaid payments for Medicare cost sharing related to these services.

Thanks,

Jerry
