A member asked:
What happens to an elderly person in a nursing home after all of their money is gone? are they moved to county facility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It depends on what you have worked out with the facility. Some facilities only accept insurance other than medicare or they do not accept medicaid and in that case, the person would have to go to another facility. In some other facilities, when medicare is exhausted, the facility accepts the residents medicare.
