When you feel you are among friends, you ask most anything that appears on your radar. I was guardian and conservator for my older brother. It was pretty well cut and dried as he had a stroke. It wasn't the nursing home that actually did the dictating of procedures, it was the state and county through family services. One of the first orders of the day he was put in nursing home was to visit the social services office. They lay down the rules they are held too. If the person has enough money to pay his or her own way, social services still has their nose involved just to make sure it is all legit. Medicare takes care of first few months, then you or Medicaid have to pay. All your assests have to be assessed for value. I had to have an auction of his personal prop and machinery etc, then sell his farm. It was a small acreage so it did not last his 3 1/2 years he lived at the home. Ran short a couple months. I was so frustrated from the different avenues each agency took. I had to deal with an attorney of course, Dept of veteran affairs, family services (county) and the nursing home itself. I told them they should all get together at one table and get their act together. They didn't think much of my idea though. If a person has enough financial means to pay their own way, you could give away or sell any or all of your property as long as you are still able to make all payments to home etc and do this all before the five year look back her in Minn. One more thing, not one of the agency's including the attorney could give me a reasonable answer as to how much I could receive to help pay for my lost income and expenses. I took 50 dollars a month until the last they said that was too much and said 35 would be about right. The whole process took a great deal out of me but he was my big brother and I would do it a gain if need be.
