I am applying for Medicaid for Mom. Does Medicaid take her Social Security if she’s living w/ me or is that just if going to a nursing home?

My Mom lives with me. She sold her home 3 yrs ago but had a hemorrhaging stroke shortly after the sale. All her funds from sell of home have gone to medical. She has NO Medicaid. I’m in process of applying for Medicaid. Will they take her only funds, Social Security, if accepted? How far back will Medicaid go back to see that all her funds are gone?

Just nursing home when community Medicaid.

Five year look back unless you are in California then three years. These look backs are for when nursing homes are required.
