Can a nursing home go after co-owned property for the unpaid balance of a parent whose daughter co-owns the property?

Sure. If the nursing home obtains a judgment against the parent, they can file a lien against the property. Whether or not they can force the sale of the property to satisfy the judgment will depend on your state's laws. The nursing cannot, of course, put a lien on the part of the property that is not owned by the parent.
