We were not planning to sell her house and I am her POA.

First you need to get durable power of attorney if you don't already have it. Plan to sell the house in Maryland and talk to an elder law attorney about options. Perhaps there's an option to put the proceeds into a special trust for your mother's care in Delaware. Medicaid is for people who have no money or assets to sell to pay for their own care.

NOPE. And when you sell the house, she will have a big chunk of money that has to be spent down. If she uses a Delaware address, Delaware Medicaid will insist the out of state property be sold and the funds used for her care first. Somehow they think if you have two residences you don't need Medicaid.
