i've been thru this with 2 of my cousins, one was when the law was only a yr, and my cousins were in total denial that their mother had alzheimers... so they lost the house to the nursing home rule...

the other was smarter, and got a power of attorney and some help, and got the house put in her name , hopefully her mother will be able to live with her for the 5 yrs to elapse...

i have a durable medical will that forbids nursing home care, only Hospice, so i don't think i will have to worry,,,, but i should still make some allowances for the unforeseen.
thanks for this thread~!
