No.  That is a very common misconception.  There are many reasons to have a living (revocable trusts) trust.  However, asset protection planning and nursing home protection are not reasons to have a revocable trust.  Under federal Medicaid law and under most states laws, your revocable trust is considered your asset and must be spent before you qualify for long-term care in a nursing home.  Likewise, because your trust is your asset it can also be reached by your creditors if you get sued.

The solution?  Get a free elder law consultation from a lawyer that practices regularly in this area and develop the strategies that are customized to you.  These techniques include but are not limited to irrevocable trusts, care agreements, and more.
