Time to place Mom in a nice Nursing facility with Medicaid paying for her care. Her SS and any pension will be needed to offset the cost.
Hopefully you didn't pay her debt. If you did, all of her money should be going to you untitled she leaves or pays you in full.

You can I believe have her evicted, but honestly the best bet is to next time she has a health concern, have her taken to the ER, and then leave her there, telling the hospital social worker that you can no longer care for her, and that she CANNOT come back to your house.(it's called an ER dump)
Are any of you moms POA? If you are, depending how it's written, you may be able to use that to have her placed in the appropriate facility. Otherwise just let her go back to live with your druggie sister and her son, since she prefers them anyways. And then wash your hands of her once and for all. Your husband deserves to be able to enjoy his retirement.
