Can my IRA be touched if my wife needs to go in a nursing home in PA?

So, Victor, have you applied for Medicaid for your wife?
You really need to sit down with a CERTIFIED eldercare attorney to work on this. Medicaid application when there is a spouse involved is not a diy project. There are ways for the community spouse, the one not going into care, to not become impoverished, but you have apply for an increased portion of your joint income.
