My father needs money back for live-in care. How do I document this to keep him eligible for Medicaid if needed in future?

The best thing is to go to an Elder lawyer and ask his advice -I would think that putting money into his account so it shows all the money was returned but the lawyer would be able to tell you what the truth is there are many myths out there-probably the worse that would happen he would be self pay at the beginning of a NH stay-also the social worker at the NH you choose would know att the rules-they deal with this all the time-remember you used this money to care for him not to line your pockets-and to care for him at home was a great thing to do for him. When you choose a NH tour all the ones closest to where you live so you can go in often and the staff will get to know who you are and that you want to work with them in making his stay a good thing.
