How far do you draw the boundaries with parents?

Hello fellow Mylotters,
I bring you the question of how far do you let boundaries go with parents? I ask because recently I let my mother move into my house. She had open heart surgery and needed to come home to heal. She is single, and my family is scattered all over the states. I happened to be the closest to her distance wise.
Since she has moved in she has made leaps and bounds when it comes to her health. She is not at 100% and is currently looking at being disabled due to other issues and her heart. Other than her getting better physically, her mental health has gone south. She now suffers from PTSD, anxiety and depression. She constantly pushes the limits of my rules, she snaps at my children, my fiance and me. We are really close with my neighbors and she has even made them frustrated and uncomfortable on occasions.
Any suggestions on how to handle it?
