Can a nursing home kick you out?

Thank you! Good to know.

I think the penalties are waved under certain conditions. Like the person has no family or income. They have to discharge you to a safe place. You may want to call APS (Adult Protection Services) and run ur problem by them.

The safety of the elder comes first, so what happens is APS would get involved. The elder is not going to placed in an unsafe environment. APS would ensure elder is placed in safe environment. As far as Medicaid being denied because of transfer of funds or misuse of funds, it is possible the person on the receiving end of those funds will be sued, or in a worse case scenario where theft occurred, criminal charges may be filed. But the NH cannot just send the elder to the curb, they will be released to a safe environment and APS would likely be contacted.
