It is true that we don't know what your financial situation is. You might try calling your local independant living center. They can often help and give sugestions according to your ability to pay. You can buy a hoyer lift on e-bay and run an ad in a newspaper for what you can afford. You don't have to live alone to talk with them. Sometimes its called CIL (center for independant living).

I only get a bit over 10k a year through Social Security. I'm on both Medicaid and Medicare, but here in NJ the state only covers for PCA/Personal Care Assistance. That limits me to hardly and ROM or exercises. I also must say, I'm sorry to hear about your situation and hope you'll be helped. It's just gut wrenching to hear about your sister.
