Nursing home patient being sued
My mother in law is in a nursing home with Alzheimers, can she be served? She has no income because it is all going to medicaid for the nursing home. There is nothing to pay the past due bills with and when they tried serving us the papers I said she no longer lived there. Can they go to the nursing home and serve her? Is she protected from this? I try to deal with the nasty creditors but they want the POA, my sister in law and she doesn't want to talk to them either. What should we do or is there anything we can do?
