Mostly Independent
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:
If he's trying to protect his assets from being used to pay for her care, he should talk with an attorney about the proper way to do it under the laws of his province and of Canada.
Most of us reside in the US. This cannot be done here in this kind of situation. First, with ALZ she can't sign the house over to him. Second, we have Medicaid here that helps pay for Longterm care. If a house is turned over within the 5 year look back (Medicaid requires when applying) that would be considered trying to hide assets and there would be penalties making it hard to get LTC for a while.
Since our health systems are do different, you need to talk to a lawyer.
Uhm, we have healthcare in Canada, as far as I know fees in Manitoba are based on your income not your assets and according to AI fees average around $3K per month. I can think of no reason to remove her name from the title and I doubt it could be legally done.
This is 100&1% requires answer(s) from the social services systems and legal processes in your Province in Canada. And really this should be done so that both persons interests in that house as an asset are maintained.
Canada - like most other countries and unlike the US - has universal health care and fairly robust social services safety nets. As a Nation, it doesn’t require that draconian measures that the applicant in need of care a skilled nursing facility makes themselves impoverished, as the Long Term Care Medicaid program does for almost all States in the US.
A ? for you…… what is your position in this drama? I ask as you posted “his home” and this is abt removing her name from “his home”. They are a married couple, husband and wife, correct? The title on property tend to reflect the legal standing of the owners. If they are married, that’s their legal status, so yeah the Title reflects ownership by both. If they bought the home and had a mortgage, their credit worthiness was likely based on their joint financials…… mortgage issued to them as joint financial responsibility of a married couple, so when mortgage paid off, that clear Title released to them reflected that.
So again, what is your interest in getting an asset / a resource removed from an elder?
For all that think he may want to do this to "hide assets" that may not be the case. I was NOT on the deed to my Husbands property and in order to sell the property when he was diagnosed with dementia and the attorney did not think he was competent to sign paperwork I had to become his legal Guardian . After that when the property sold I HAD to put it in an account and could NOT use the money to pay down the mortgage on the Handicap accessible house that I purchased because he would eventually need an accessible house. I had to "charge" him a portion of the mortgage, his portion of all household expenses. That amount was withdrawn each week and I cold then use that to pay a bit extra on the mortgage each month. Unless the full background story is known I never jump to the conclusion that someone is wanting to "hide" assets. Yes it probably does happen more often than not though.
