So yes. You will be turned down UNLESS you utilize the laws in place that would enable your mom to get the care she needs through Medicaid. Call a certified elder attorney.

You need to see a certified eldercare attorney who can advise on setting up a Miller Trust. Which directs excess income to a pooled trust which reverts to the state.
