My mom, 80, needs special care, but Medicare won't pay. Now the home wants to take her Social Security. Is this legal?

Title: My mom, 80, needs special care, but Medicare won't pay. Now the home wants to take her Social Security. Is this legal?

Article Snip: "...Can the nursing home take that money, even though your mother has bills to pay, debts she took on before getting sick and a home she wants to maintain after she gets out of the care facility?

Here's what you need to know. ...Medicare does not ever cover routine nursing care (called custodial care) for those who can't do basic life tasks. Medicare does cover skilled nursing care for up to 100 days, but only under limited circumstances, such as when you've just left the hospital.

Since your mother just left the hospital, you may want to appeal the denial of the skilled nursing care.
