Putting house into trust to avoid care home fees

A friend mentioned that her parents had put their property into trust to avoid potential care home fees liability. Is this as simple as she suggests? Would this not be classed as deprivation of assets by the council?

I work in this area, in our LA, it would only be pursued if the person transferring the property had care needs (was receiving care) at the time of the transfer.
