Your first question doesn't make sense. You have to pay for the nursing home. Once you die, if there is anything left, your kinfolk can have it. If you give away your money in the five year period preceding applying for Medicaid, you can be denied coverage. The nursing home doesn't have anything to do with it. But Medicaid does. Medicaid is for people who don't have any money left. It would be dishonest to be giving our money away to relatives and then go to medicaid and tell them that you're broke.
