Yes. The stimulus is yours to spend. If you want giftcards, you can buy giftcards.

What state are you in? Medicaid laws can be very different from state to state.

Are you in the facility for rehab or for Long Term Care?
Do you have a "personal needs allowance"?
Have you asked the facility social worker this question?
