I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place as I'm not savvy on the rules. 
I have a quick question about law/elder care and was looking for advice. 
My mother in law passed away this year and my father in law has had to move to a progressive care "apartment" as he's not able to live alone although he is in fairly food health for an 82 year old. 
We are in process of selling his home (Pennsylvania) because he won't be able to live ether alone any longer. 
He was interested in using proceeds of the sale to purchase a home in Delaware to serve as a vacation home for family members as well as a place we can take him several times a year for a week or two at a time. 
Our concerns are 1) is this allowed as he's currently residing in nursing home 2) as of now, unless he needed increased care levels, he would easily have enough money to cover 5 years in the home which would get him past the 5 year PA Medicaid  look back, should he eventually run out of funds regarding the vacation home purchase. He sees this as a potential way to preserve something for his family for the future. 
I know I need to consult an attorney but was hoping for some basic guidance in advance.
