Sold House in FL

When parents who were in an assisted living facility being paid for in part or in whole by Medicaid passes on, Medicaid may try to do what is called an estate recovery.

Some people prefer to live at home as opposed to moving into a nursing home situation. Even though the person will be living at home, they still need some sort of financial assistance.
