If your grandparents did not work enough to have Social Security retirement benefits and do not receive state assistance, then they must pay for services they receive. Their assets are for their benefit and as such should be used to provide whatever care they need. The taxpayers should have no burden of providing care for individuals with personal resources with which to pay.

Their assets are not for your benefit; keep that in mind.

Look I was just asking for some advice on what to do. Now before you run your mouth let me tell you I am the one who provides for my grandparents and I will continue on doing so. Its hard supporting two different houses, smart comments like yours you need to keep to your self because I dont wont anything that belons to my grandparents I work and I work hard to provide. I dont wont any assets that my grandparents my have. I am here to make the rest of there time here is the happiest time of their life

So as far as the assets Dont wont them

Their happiness and well being most impotant.

P.S.
In the future when you reply your advice, remember not all people are out to get what they can I would give the short of my back for people I have lost over 20 thousand dollars by my step father and I also paid for my moms funeral which was another 10 thousand , My point is be kind in what you say because you dont know what a thing about the person asking for advice or do you know what they have been through Your reply really hurt my feelings

If you don't want the assets, why did you ask this:

Can we transfer assets out of there name then get the help we need

They have assets which need to be used for their care. That's what the assets are to be used for.

You just continue to show that you feel that you are ENTITLED to inherit from your grandparents. Their assets are their assets, not yours, and not your cousins. The assets are to be used for their care. Have fun defending yourself from fraud charges when you try to break the law to get welfare for your grandparents when their assets could be (and should be) used for their care. You're greedy, and I hope your grandparents realize that you love their assets and not them.

You are not solving your problem of assisting your grandparents by arguing with the forum members. You have been informed that there are strict asset and income limits in order to qualify for government assistance with nursing or home care. Your grandparents may eventually have to liquidate assets to pay for their care if other family members do not want to provide it. That is fact and no one on this forum will advise you how to hide their assets in order to qualify for aid.

I suggest that you seek agencies in your grandparents' area that provide assistance based on your grandparents assets and ability to pay. Look at United Way agencies such as the Visiting Nurse Association, your local service or government agency that handles elder affairs, or the social worker at their health care agency; they will be able to refer you to the agencies that provide care. State websites generally provide information on the requirements and asset limits for medicaid qualification. I hope you are able to arrange appropriate assistance for your grandparents.

Standard answer: "We don't assist posters with 'spending down' as that is fraud which is a crime."

Do you kiss your grandparents with that potty-mouth?
