When my mother was in a nursing home, my brother applied for Medicaid. Mom passed on before the application was process was completed. But it surprised me when my bro told me Medicaid here in PA did not demand the house. Now, this was a few years ago; perhaps the law has changed. But that's the way it was back then.

Why would they if the process was not completed?

When we admitted my dad to a nursing home, they started to hand us the Medicaid forms and we told them he didn't need them. They smirked and said, "He will". Really gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Yes PA is pretty generous as far as the house goes. My Grandparents home is still in our family even after my Grandmother was in a nursing home after two years or so. I am not sure if it is because everything was paid or not though. With how expensive nursing care is I sorta doubt it to be honest with you.
