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.

This is what you need to know exactly as it determines what it was that enabled you & hubs to enroll in NY Medicaid. Like ACA is a different type of Medicaid program as health insurance than being aged / disabled/ lower income as that a different type of Medicaid coverage.
& You can sell you home… there is no way Medicaid can stop that from happening…. It’s your home, you own it legally. & those friends of yours are fear factoring 2 you.
When you move to a new State, you will file for Medicaid in the new State if FL too has the same type of program. And they will have something similar. Each State administers its Medicaid programs uniquely but under overall federal guidelines. There will be something you “fit” into. It may end up being a PACE program as FL is really pushing their Medicaid $ to supporting those in larger cities.
Selling a home, shouldn’t be a factor as that’s an asset, not “income”. “Assets” & “income” in my experience kinda only matter if either of you are currently in or are about to file to be in a NH, as that Medicaid program (LTC Medicaid) looks at both of those 2 categories. If that’s you or your hubs, that a whole other very involved situation & you need to find an atty in NYS asap to speak with. But that not your situation now is it!
Really, I’d suggest that you ask your son to find a couple of of CELA level type of Elder law atty in or nearby his city in Florida to contact and on your next visit down, the 3 of you go and meet with 1 of them to go over all this (with you & hubs and your son). So that once you move, the FL atty can draw up fresh documents so that everything is set up to be all OK for FL and for how FL looks at LTC Medicaid applications should that be needing eventually. It will be ok!
If you sell, you will have money and should be self pay like the rest of us taxpayers.
I agree you need to consult with Medicaid planner and also one in Florida
It might be that for a brief time you are without Medicaid until you purchase another home. (one that puts your assets within the limits set.
