Can Medicaid Take My Home?

Your primary residence is considered a non-countable assets towards medicaid if you intend to return to it.

However, every estate for individuals over the age of 55 must file a TennCare Release.
TennCare will file a lien against the estate for the amount paid out for long-term care and real estate is included as part of the estate. This is why Medicaid Protection Trusts protect against estate recovery.
