I’ve worked in nursing homes and see private payers share a room with Medicaid recipients. So if A can be worked out and no long term care insurance is available…save the hard earned estate money for the estate. I’ve even seen nursing homes put a lien on the house to get their pounds of flesh. So keep what you can.

The objective moral answer is B, but A is completely understandable and no one would judge you for it because the real problem is a macroeconomic problem: the cost of nursing homes. It's a supply/demand issue. Because we give free nursing homes to the poor, there is a huge demand for nursing homes, which makes it more expensive. Fixed payments and guaranteed patients from the government means facilities will try to optimize for profit since they don't need to compete, meaning you'll be paying more for less. The optimal solution is probably for the government to stop paying for nursing care. It would reduce the costs and make nursing homes more affordable, so most people would be better off. The poor would likely have to rely on moving in with their adult children for support. And the very poor would likely die sooner. Economics is dismal. Politically the solution doesn't work, who can run on that? So by our good nature and providing for the poor, we have almost necessitated "Mom" has to go with option A even with $600K. Because of this, I think Option A is understandable and good and Option B is a self-sacrificing kind of good. Self-sacrifice can be noble and good, but sometimes it is foolish and naive.

As an elder law attorney, I answer the legal question: they set up the rules, we'll work within those rules to get you the best outcome we can.
As for the moral question, i.e. whether it is "wrong" to do that kind of planning, I have a hard time seeing the struggle between the individual and the leviathan as a moral struggle. If giving away assets five years early is immoral, increase the lookback period to seven years. Or ten. Change the rules so grantors can't retain income rights or the use and possession of real estate in a trust without the trust assets being countable.
Breaking the law is wrong. Obeying the law is not. Cheating the system is wrong. Working within the system is not.

If mom has $600k why the hell does she need to live off the state? Why are you telling people to do this? $11k per month - maybe?? - might happen years from now? She needs to keep her own money, invest it safely and live off it. It can last her, her lifetime and into a nursing home if necessary.
Despicable that you are even discussing this when someone has so much money. Medicaid is for people that actually need it not for wealthy people wanting to lie and cheat. Appalling

Considering that the taxpayers fund pointless wars all over the globe and waste money without any voice, take your money back. Choose A. They'll take her estate after she passes unless its in a trust anyway
