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.
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.
Your grand parents may have had long term care insurance.

The home in which my mother resided had assured my brother and me that regardless of circumstances, they would still provide care for my mother. Didn't matter whether she had insurance, was eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, whatever. It was a Catholic home, so they may have had some kind of "free care" fund for those who could not pay. Or there may have been some law or internal regulation that stated they could turn no one out for inability to pay. I don't really know the law -- just what we were told. And as I said, it turned out we didn't have to face the situation since my mother passed on before our application for Medicaid was even submitted.
