By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I would think you providing proof of Caregiving would needed to be presented at time you applied for Medicaid. If you have never cared for Mom in her home, you cannot be considered her Caregiver. Were you living in her house with her for a length of time? Like you were a resident getting mail there? If you have never lived in the house, you can't now. Even though the house is an exempt asset Medicaid still has a lot of say in what happens to it. Even if you were able to get Caregiver status, you also have to prove you can pay the bills and upkeep on the house. If not living there prior, you can't move in. The house can't be rented unless Medicaid has OKd it.
I suggest you run this by Moms Medicaid caseworker.
Also, the adult child must provide a level of care that prevents the senior from needing to relocate to one of the above mentioned facilities during this time. Does not make sense why you are trying to do this this now two years into their care out of their home.
Meh, does not sound above board to me.
Rules in Kansas may be different.

They STRONGLY recommend using a professional Medicaid planner.
In any event, your mom's Medicaid caseworker should be able to provide some guidance.
Child Caregiver Exception
The child caregiver exception allows Medicaid applicants to transfer their home to their healthy adult child. The child must have lived with their aging parent for a minimum of 2 years prior to the parent’s nursing home admittance. The child must have provided a level of care that prevented the parent from requiring nursing home care during this time. Also called the child caretaker exemption, this technique can be utilized in all states to protect one’s home for an adult child as inheritance. Specific rules vary based on the state of residence, and if not done correctly, transferring one’s home can violate Medicaid’s look back rule, resulting in a penalty period of Medicaid ineligibility.
