The painful answer is yes, however it depends on what type of facility your parents live in.
Skilled Nursing Homes (SNF) in Wisconsin that accept Federal funding (90%) cannot ask you or force you to move. You have the right to stay and apply for Medicaid/ T-19 if you otherwise qualify. You may be asked to share a room with another resident once Medicaid is approved.
Many Assisted Living Facilities, Residential Care Facilities (RCAC) and Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF) in Wisconsin can and do ask residents to move once their assets are depleted. Senior Planning Group knows which facilities NEVER ask families to move based on financial ability to pay. Families must be very careful and have to listen carefully when discussing Family Care which is a Medicaid waiver program in Wisconsin with an assisted living facility upon admission. Many providers are very vague and skirt around the question. Many facilities put their own limitations on the number of residents that are allowed to stay after funds are depleted. It is imperative that you understand in detail the history of their participation.
