Your Mother falls under two classifications of "protected" persons: disabled and elderly. Have you looked in to getting her some legal help based upon either of these two classifications? Depending on the circumstances she may not be easily "evicted" or she may be evicted only under certain conditions. The Judge would give her ample time to move. This all, of course, depends on the circumstances surrounding the "eviction" and each case can turn on the facts. I would seek out legal help in your area. Possibly from legal aid or from the department of Social Services Division of the Elderly. Good luck.
