My mother is in her 50's and has no retirement savings and health issues. My wife and I expect a great deal of her care/financial support to fall on us as she ages. We are fine with this but would love a tax advantaged way that we could invest for her without giving her control. Any thoughts?

Estate planning attorney.

You may need some sort of trust, etc.

That’s going to be difficult as long as she’s competent. Roth IRA for yourselves and withdrawing the principal may be the best you can hope for with respect to tax advantaged.

Can't help with ideas on savings, but you may want to look into long term health care. Suppose to help if the person will need home health care, sitters, etc., that is not covered by medicare.
