Does my mother's savings have to be put first to her health care coverage?

Question from Caring.com Community Member, Jbhapp

My mother has been in a nursing home for about 5 weeks. Her application for Mass health has been rejected because she has about $14,000 between savings and an IRA. Can this be protected and how? We expect her to be coming home in the next week.
