<\/a><\/p>\nA Connecticut trial court has ruled that attorney Jan Marcus, who admitted his mother to a nursing home<\/a>, signed the admissions agreement, and then transferred money to himself but failed to provide information for her Medicaid <\/a>application is liable to the nursing home for his mother\u2019s unpaid debt up to the amount of income that was in his control.<\/p>\n (Related:\u00a0Family Caregiver Distress Assessment<\/a>)<\/p>\n The admissions agreement stated that the responsible party did not personally guarantee payment, however, it did require the responsible party to provide all the information needed to apply for Medicaid <\/a>and to pay for the care with the resident\u2019s funds. Marcus failed to turn over his mother\u2019s Social Security payments to the nursing home and proceeded to transfer his mother\u2019s funds to himself. \u00a0On behalf of his mother he applied for Medicaid, but the application was denied because he provided insufficient information.<\/p>\n (Related:\u00a0Assisted Living and the Problem of Self-Regulation<\/a>)<\/p>\n
