A 5 year look-back isn't the only concern.
When I was on a high-traffic Alzheimer's email list years ago one attorney posted that her state had passed a law allowing the state to "bust" open Medicaid irrevocable trusts...even after the look-back (only 3 years back then) to get access to the principal.
So you might have to domicile any irrevocable trust setup to preserve assets from attachment by Medicaid out-of-state as well.
Interesting.
