[quote=Anonymous]You may want to contact the local Office on Aging in DC or possibly md or va locality that is closest to you with public transportation if Mom does not drive.
See what they might recommend for senior living in the range if a budget you would have to work with.   It is likely DC  would be more expensive.  Also contact apartment rental companies to get an idea of rents in the area fir a one bedroom or possibly studio if her income is limited.

You may need to consider carefully if you are even emotionally up to having her stay with you at all.  If you have children in the home, I think you have to put their needs first.  On looking I found SeniorHousingNet,com with listings for 95 senior lower income options.  Again a few miles out of DC in Maryland in particular might get you more reasonable options.  If you think your mother might need some level of social services, then I would take that route now and see if there less expensive senior housing with supports as needed.  It does seem like a good starting point.[/quote]
