Once Medicaid kicks in, and your mom is in assisted living,and you are only allowed to have $2000 in assets, which can be in the form of a bank acct, a vehicle etc., how is a person (daughter) supposed to take care of and pay for such things as a storage unit to hold all mom's stuff since she’s in assisted living? Will they allow that fee to come out of her bank acct?
Each state is different and it would be your best bet.
I would get rid of what she is not using. She will not need it again.
