<p>While the fafsa does not have a section that addresses the care of elderly parents the CSS profile does take into consideration the care of elderly parents in their calculations. There is also a section on the profile that you can write about your situation. You can state that you have an elderly parent that you care for and to what extent you provide for her care and other extenuating circumstances.</p>
<p>From what it sounds like that you mom does not have a considerable income or assets and she is not in a postion to give money to your child, so it will all be pretty much a non issue as grandmom is dependent on you and not the other way around.</p>
