Can anyone offer advice on how to handle this elder care situation?

We have to find alternate living arrangements for my mother in law.
She is 67 years old, and physically capable, but has epilepsy and trouble forming memories.
She cannot live alone, but she has worn out her welcome with every family member she has.
Her obsession with visiting the neighbors has resulted in a literal angry mob banging on our door looking for information on a neighbor’s girlfriend, putting my household in the middle of a violent domestic dispute.
She insists this is no reason for her to stop visiting these people, and that her desire to “save” the neighborhood is more important than her grandson not having to hide in the part of the house most likely to be safe from errant gunfire.
She needs to get the fuck out.
We are not people of means. She gets about $750/mo in social security and gets medicaid and Medicare.
What are our options?
Using Fluther
