Legal Question in Elder Law in California

When does 'Share of Costs' begin at Nursing Home

Hello, and thanks so much for your time. My elderly aunt had a stroke last year. The nursing home says she owes monthly 'Share of Costs' from the very first day she was admitted, while she was on Medicare and before she went on Medi-cal. Is this true? Many thanks.
