In Kansas there is a 5 year lookback. If you spend your assets for a few months (until they're gone) you will be grandfathered in to most of the nicer homes. If you show up broke most of the nicer homes won't take Medicaid as payment. Careful about that "gifting assets". You can put your loved one in a nearly impossible situation.
