My DH has had 2 back surgeries, followed by 2 strokes. I'm in very good health. Over the past 5 years, after his business partner embezzled from their company, he'd transferred everything into my name. I'm currently putting all of my assets, including a small inheritance from my mom, into an Asset Protection Trust. Should he need to be in a home in the future, my assets are secure for myself and later my children, should I also need a home. We're in the US, on Medicare. Medicaid is health care for the indigent. We've both had family in nursing homes, his grandmother on Medicaid and my mother on private pay--both were taken care of equally. In speaking with the nursing home staff, they are prohibited from knowing or treating those on Medicaid differently than those on private pay.
