I keep my place in a constant state of "under construction", sort of in mid-renovation state at all times. And I don't clean up much either.
It keeps the family from wanting to stay, visit, mooch, whatever. (Edit; talking about your other family, not your mother. You're a helluva guy for taking in your mom and taking care of her like you did)
"Well of course I'd love to have you, but I'm gutting and redoing the kitchen right now, and a few months after that I'll be knocking out those walls over there, sorry. Not a good time for a roommate. Try again next year or the year after that if you still need a place to crash"
