Me, Myself & I asked:


I volunteer in a nursing home and want to give my lady patients little (inexpensive) gifts for Christmas. Other than socks, can anyone give me some suggestions on what I could get them? I can’t give food items (candy, etc.) because many of them have diet restrictions because of diabetes, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions.

Ron P asked:


My Son was declared permanently disabled for mental health reasons in 2007. My Son is 24 years old. He recently started receiving Medicaid and SSI in 2007. My son has lived with me since his illness began in 2006.

I did not claim my Son in 2006. I am hesitant about claiming my Son on my 2007 return for fear it may impact the much needed benefits he now receives.

What are my options?

Elderly parent has no liquid assets, but house is paid for. Father is already enrolled, and receiving in-home assistance, but needs to enter full time care. Will Medicaid make mother sell the house? Or can they convey title to one of the children? I know we need an attorney – but they are so expensive – any advice from someone who has lived it would be great? Time limits? Details? They are in Florida.
Thanks so much for any help.

We are planning to do a reverse mortgage for my grandfather? We’ve been told that if he were to go into a nursing home, the home and/or Medicaid can take his assets including any equity or property he has. This doesn’t seem right. Can anyone help clarify?

BillF asked:


Preparing for elderly family members, we want to better understand the “rules of the game”. We understand that Medicaid does not consider cars as assets, nor do they consider prepaid funeral expenses. Is there a recommended source, with current rules, that describes how to manage the transition from having health to living in a nursing home with Medicaid footing the bill.
This is such a big transition for the family, we want to stay legal, but want to understand our options.
Are financial analysts trained in this aspect of finance?
