You make valid points regarding investing in another homeowner's home.  However, Medicaid will never force the sale of a home.  They will only attempt to collect anything due when the homeowner dies, so depending on the amount owed there could be a ton of risk there. 


Individual circumstances vary.  Your trust arrangement may be relatively secure.  Other arrangements may not be so secure because for the most part, if you build or install something permanently on another piece of real property (meaning land), whatever you built or installed becomes attached to the real property and belongs 100% to the person who owns the land, no matter who paid for the build or installation.  Caution is needed based on individual circumstances.
