Just learned and verified from Co-ordinator that the State Pa. gets all the caregiver $$ back if you have to sell your house! So it's just a loan. She said I should have been told this but wasn't. So after 12 yrs house is worth 0! To top it off they caught bro in law "caregiver" fraudulent when I was hospitalized and he wrote 12 hours on the timesheet! Thankfully he moved good riddance. Family wants me to sell the house since the market is up but I want to stay here but not sure if I can afford it. Get the house out of your name if you are care getter is something to consider imo
No one gets a free lunch.
When you pass, Medicaid will put a lean on the house that will have to be satisfied when sold. Medicaid has to try and recoup money they have expended for someone's care.
