It sounds like you need to do a guardianship over your sister, take a bit of control and find her some different housing. the guardianship would be done in the county in which she currently lives. If you are her guardian, it will give you the opportunity to find alternative, supportive housing for her, make sure she takes her meds, and also help you in protecting mom. Please call my office if I can be of assistance.
