Property in Trust to avoid care home fees

[ClawsandEffect]

I was talking to a friend the other day and she mentioned she is putting her house in a trust for her son, so it can't be sold for care home fees later, should she need them.

This isn't possible, is it? I thought the LA could claw back even many years later to fund care.

I think she's expecting the state to

They might decide to provide carers calling in.

They might have a choice of a home that you wouldn't want to put your worst enemy in.

I think that's the reality and as every year passes and rates increase far greater than inflation, its going to be more common I fear.
