Nursing home wants to have Medicaid POA. Has anyone had the NH handle this process?

The Nursing Home handled my mom’s application, too, and I have to say it came through with lightning speed. I had POA for her, though, not them. I’ve never heard of “Medicaid POA”, because to me that would mean the Nursing Home was in charge of spending down Dad’s funds and would have to be on his accounts or have access to them and have power to withdraw funds and sign checks. Get POA for Mom and Dad right now. I went through Legal Zoom, it cost less than $100 and I never had a moment’s issue with it while she was alive or after she passed. That way, anything the Nursing Home does goes through you first.

Secondly, it is NOT up to the Nursing Home to decide how much Mom gets as a Community Spouse. It is totally up to Medicaid.
