The only way to receive full state help with nursing or residential care is to have no assets to your name.Re: Nursing Home costs - You will still have to pay!
It's easy - just transfer 50% of your home into another member of your family or a charity with you maintaining a "lifetime" interest, meaning you can stay in your own home, they can't sell it or mortgage it without your permission and as you have a lifetime interest, with their signature you can sell it and move somewhere else. As far as I know as long as you can prove this wasn't to get out of paying your dues the state can't do anything.Re: Nursing Home costs - You will still have to pay!

You could always get yourself thrown in jail, 3 meals a day and all your health needs covered etc but no good just robbing or assaulting someone as you'll probably only get a slap on the wrist, try defrauding the 'guvmnt' that'll get you inRe: Nursing Home costs - You will still have to pay!
