My mother is living with me in a new york city apartment. She is 74 years old, arthritic and a long time alcoholic. She has completely trashed the bedroom she is living in, and every day it becomes more challenging trying to manage my life and hers.
She has medicare and a small pension, but zero savings.
What are my options in the long run. I am lost.

contact your local area agency on aging to understand what's possible in NY state. There are often low -rent facilities for seniors, they'll adjust rent based on her income. There is no shame in admitting that you can't take care of elderly parents any longer. Best o fluck
