Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
No. You are not required to give the nursing home a receipt for anything. The bill for the person being cared for in the nursing home was paid for by Medicaid. They already got their money. Medicaid might want to see a receipt from a pre-paid funeral contract that was done before the person went on Medicaid, but that is in no way owed to the nursing home. All the legal documentation a nursing home needs to see is a person's POA and proof that they are executor of the person's will who passed away. Even if they don't have any property or money. If the nursing home owes money be it funds deposited in a resident trust account that was used for things like haircuts, sundries, getting nails trimmed, etc... then whoever is the executor collects that. If they owe money back because the deceased person's funds paid for days that were paid for by Medicaid, that money is owed back to Medicaid, not the nursing home. The business end of all nursing homes will try to shakedown people to get money they are not owed and will pull every underhanded and shady trick in the book to get more. You don't owe them any explanation or any receipts. Medicaid paid them for the care. The money left over in a resident account is owed back to the estate.
For them to release the money an Executor or Adminstrator has to get a Short Certificate (maybe called something else in ur area) from Probate to show the person is authorized to handle the deceased persons finances. The money may need to be put in an estate account. I had no problem having it go to me.
Call the NH to find out what they need and County Probate to confirm what I have said.
If the deceased person left a will and named an executor of it, that document is legal and the executor has a right to collect the money left in the resident account.
I'm assuming your LO died elsewhere and not in the NH if you are asking this question. If you're referring to the resident's internal trust account at the NH, they probably would need an original of the death certificate. Also they'd need to know who to release the funds to. Thinking the executor of the will maybe does this? Others will answer with more info.
I cannot imagine why. Nursing homes don't pay for funerals, so whether anyone ELSE did is neither their business nor within their rights to know insofar as I can see.
The business end of every nursing home will pull every dirty and underhanded trick in the book to try and get every penny, even when they are not owed. The only documentation they need to see is a will with the executor's name on it. They are not owed receipts for anything. It's none of their business. If someone was on Medicaid, it's their business because they are the ones who were paying the bill.
