By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

When he was admitted to the NH did you apply for Medicaid for him? Maybe that’s how someone found out about his assets and now since you lived with him and had no POA but used his money to pay house bills and bills for your children’s care this was against Medicaid rules. How long was he in a nursing home?
Medicaid eligibility has many rules that maybe you were unaware of. If I were you I would seek out an attorney to represent you. With your limited funds call the Public Defender’s office and find out your options.
I hope things work out for you. If you don’t have money you might think about applying for low income housing for yourself and your kids. What was your source of income prior to this? Were you working and contributing to the house bills? That may help you if you can prove that you were paying the bills for your kids and food and shelter. If you weren’t any strictly using your father’s money, that can be considered “gifting” by Medicaid which is not allowed. If you have savings maybe paying the money back to your dad is an option.
Your best bet is getting a lawyer.
And can you tell us what is your Dad's health condition? Does he have any memory loss?
Sometimes our parents put on a really good show for us. But it sounds like when you became ill, dad declined quite rapidly, and thank goodness, the authorities stepped in!
I'm glad he's getting care.
