There are a lot of supports opening now, especially for elders. But, OP, I cannot stress this enough: She has to do the work.

You can call around for emergency services in her area. A wellness check from the police may get her on the road to acquiring services. But, she will have to go through the process of applications and long lines herself.

Moving the problem here only makes it your problem. And, I don't mean your mother, I mean the financial issues and the absence of any willingness to make necessary changes.

You can research options from here, but she has to follow through. Outside of government, there are all sorts of small social service agencies that do this kind of work all the time. They are better equipped than you are to locate food, housing, detox, workforce readiness, and mental health services.

It's not easy to watch your mother go through this, OP.  But, it's her journey.

Continue to provide the emotional support you said she is asking you for, and empower her with knowledge of local resources. It's up to her to walk in and start the process.

I'd start with that wellness check.

Best of luck to you, OP.
