I do NOT think you are responsible for your mother's expenses. Did you sign anything that indicated you would be liable? How much are they asking you for? If they are successful I do NOT think you can shield any funds from them...but I am not convinced you are liable from the few facts you presented.
If you guaranteed payment, you are responsible. They would first have to obtain a money judgment against you. Certain assets are exempt from collection.
