My mom has alzheimers and i’ve been told that Medicare will pick up hospice for her without going after any assets my dad may have after she’s gone. I know Medi-Cal/Medicade will go after the home to recoop moneys spent, but i’m wondering if the same will happen with Medicare.

How greatly does this increase my odds of having it? Is there anything I can do? any advice or insight on the subject is appreciated, even if it doesnt exactly answer my question.
