If father is in LTC and divorced mother is beneficiary on an IRA does that make her assets vulnerable to estate recovery?

No, being a beneficiary does not. Although, he may have to deplete this in order to pay for LTC or medical bills. Quite possibly there will be nothing left anyway.

Bumping this up. I hope others have some insights on this.

My guess would be no. Divorced mom is just a beneficiary on the IRA in the event that he dies before using all of it, your father is still alive, and he and she are divorced, so I don't think her assets could come into it at all.
