Grandma I took in my grandmother three months ago; she is 92.

Grandma
I took in my grandmother three months ago; she is 92. I have power of attorney. She has liquidated her estate and has transferred all monies to me. As her health is deteriorating we want to move her into a nursing home. I have been told that unless her assets were liquidated or transferred for at least three years prior to her entering the nursing home that she will not be eligible for medicare or medicaid. Is this correct?
