    So what you are saying is you want to cheat the system, and your parents out of their home, by putting them in a nursing home while you stay in their home rent free…if and when they find out there can be some serious legal issues. As long as they are in the home there isn’t a problem so why don’t you show them the respect and love they deserve for allowing you to stay in their home, and just keep them there and take care of them.

    Usually if it’s a long-term care facility (I would say more than 12 months qualifies as such) they have access to the person’s income and assets and the mortgage company will be notified. Tell the scum that are considering trading in their mother for her home they should be ashamed of themselves - that’s a pretty disgusting way to treat someone who can’t defend themself. They’re no better than the pathetic thugs that mug little old ladies and steal their purses.
