Nursing homes can and will wipe out your estate, then kick you onto Medicare at which point you're likely to be shoved into a substandard nursing home.
My parents were in the best nursing home in the state and their stays were paid by Medicaid. Hiding your assets so you can obtain public assistance is just another welfare scam.
