My mom died this past year and I took care of her for three years prior, she had alzheimers and it was a hard job. My dad was in a nursing home prior to her becoming ill and we had to go check up on him constantly because we could not trust the nursing home. We thought by taking care of my mom that her home would not be taken away. Our daughter moved into her home after she moved in with us and has since married. Now since we filed for probate because the nursing home my mom was in for only two weeks before she died, medicade has come back and siad we owe for my dad's stay which was almost 2003 and 2004 and they will take my mom's estate or we have to pay what the estae is worth to keep it. We wore out a car and spent gas money taking care of him and now the state gets whats left of what they earned their whole lives. What kind of country is this? It's not fair, just because my parents had a little something they take it away and anyone else gets help and doesn't have to pay anything. I am so upset and depressed, I have been depressed for so long now because taking care of an alzhiemers patient twenty four seven and the when that's over now I have to deal with this. Please help.
