Parent is living with child are there any special rules when the parent applies for Medicaid?

Senior citizen parent is living in home of adult child. The parent has little or no assets in their name and has none for many years. Parent is being claimed as dependent on child's tax return. What if any impact does the fact the child has been supporting parent for a number of years on parent's application for Medicaid?

First off, do not claim them as a dependent. Treat them as a tenant who pays room and board. Otherwise she has to declare the support you are giving her.
