First you will need to get a lawyer to apply for you to be power of attorney over your mother. You will need to prove that she is incapable of caring for herself. If the judge signs the papers for you to be POA then you can get her into a home. Just look at all the options in living arrangments. Some are more expensive while others aren’t. If she is declared unable to care for herself she may qualify for SSI which would pay for her living arrangements in a special home.
