Tough stuff. Someone suggested a trust. Talk to an elder lawyer. I do know someone whose relative got a small med malpractice settlement, bought a house for cash and then got some sort of trust set up for medical and was able to get Medicaid. It’s all a scam. Don’t sell your home. Get it figured out with her finances, you shouldn’t lose your stuff.

When the forms ask for household income, it is not explicitly stated but they mean “tax” household - not everyone on your property.
Assuming you claim your kids as dependents, you are one tax household.
Your mother is a separate tax household - unless you also claim her as a dependent.
That distinction could make a big difference.

$8000 a month.
That seems high, my mom had Parkinson's and we had her in a nice assisted living facility at the highest level of care and I think it was around $6300. Her income was around $2200, but my father left her well off so money wasn't an issue.
They controlled her meds, brought meals when she didn't go to the dining rooms, when she ended up in a wheelchair they would wheel her around when needed, had a call bracelet she could use whenever, did her laundry, assisted her with showers.
