I'm a resident of South Carolina. My mother has been in a nursing home since the end of October. Her Medicare benifits have run out. She currently doesn't qualify for Medicaid because of her asset status. I understand the financial criteria for going on Medicaid, but in the meantime, am I, as her son, or is my brother in any way liable for paying her nursing home expenses until she can qualify for Medicaid? I just received an invoice from the nursing home addressed to me for expenses not covered by Medicare or insurance. I have been the primary contact with the nursing home for my mother. I handled all the paperwork and attempted to limit what I signed personally to papers that held no verbage regarding financial liability. My fear is that they will come after my finances including property, etc. I have this same fear for my brother also. I'm hoping my fears are unfounded. Any clarification on this issue is greatly appreciated.
