Once Medicaid kicks in, and your mom is in assisted living,and you are only allowed to have $2000 in assets, which can be in the form of a bank acct, a vehicle etc., how is a person (daughter) supposed to take care of and pay for such things as a storage unit to hold all mom's stuff since she’s in assisted living? Will they allow that fee to come out of her bank acct?
I would get rid of what she is not using. She will not need it again.
Each state is different and it would be your best bet.
