No, they cannot take your house, nor do they want to. This is one myth regarding Medicaid. While Medicaid does require the spouses of beneficiaries to contribute some portion of their available assets to the cost of care, the federal Spousal Impoverishment Protection law excludes your family home from that calculation while a spouse resides there. There are several options available to protect your house from estate recovery if one dies while on medicaid or family care.
