Mom is in an adult assisted facility and the only asset she has left is her house. Her money will run out next month, so will Medicare just take the house?

Mom has been in an adult assisted facility. "they say they don't have enough nurses to be called a nursing home". Her money will run out next month. She signed the family home over less than 5 years ago to the 4 adult children. Can we simply let the government have it? Only one of the kids lives anywhere near mom. The house isn't up to code. Any help would be appreciated.
