My grandmother has been in a nursing home since 2011 we originally paid out of pocket but then ran out of money and applied for medicaid. We had some bad legal advice and a lot of money had been gifted witch caused us to have a large penalty pay back period with Medicaid.We discussed this with the nursing home from the minute we knew there would be an issue with the application and possible payback period and at that time agreed we could pay $6,000 per month to the nursing home. We have been paying the nursing home $6000 per month as agreed about half the actual price during the Medicaid appeal process but now the nursing home is trying to get the current money owed but the family has no money to pay back the money owed. Can they throw out my grandmother even though she needs nursing care. What are our legal options?
If you have an agreed-to payment plan and you are living up to it, I don't understand the issue. Have you missed some payments?
To me, it's the nuclear option for a facility to do. It does happen, I saw it at my mom's 1st NH. Mom in on Medicaid and entered owning her home (exempt asset & allowed by Medicaid) well her son sold the house…and kept the $. NH apparently tied for awhile to get payment, but Sonny kept promising. Long story short, mom was moved to a NH in adjacent co. The NH was over not so much dealing with his mom (she was nice dementia) but was totally over dealing with Sonny. I cannot imagine how awful for the mom.
Plus outstanding bill was still owed to the NH by Sonny.
