Treatment For Hepatitis C

Dear Doctor, My friend's mother is suffering from Hepatitis C. It looks like she is going through the critical stages. No one knows for sure. My friend will have to go abroad for his job this June but does not know where to leave his mother. No relatives are willing to keep her as she is always sick and needs medication. Is there a home where such people will be taken care off while my friend is away? Pls help. Thank you.
