Generally speaking, children are not responsible for their parent's nursing home bills once the parent's funds have been exhausted. 

However, Pennsylvania became one of the first states to enforce a law on it's books imposing that liability.

This is a disturbing course of events for families paying for college educations and other expenses.

For a fuller discussion of this case see out article on Paying For Your Parents'Nursing Home Care. 

This case is not final and the law in this area is developing so make sure to get a free or paid consultation on elder law planning to get the best advice in
