When Dad passes will Medi-cal recover the expenses they paid for him first and then if there is anything left the note, or is it vice versa?

My father, 91 years old, has been in assisted living and now is in a nursing home since 2006, as of 2011 when his medical need changed and was moved to a nursing home Medi-Cal kicked in and they now pay the majority (about 60%) of his rent there. His home is in his trust name (I'm trustee) and he has a $100K note outstanding. When he passes will Medi-cal recover all the expenses they paid for him first and then if there is anything left the note, or is it vice versa?

Assuming the note pre-dates his NH admission date and is collateralized by the house, the note gets paid off first and then Medicaid.
