I'm finding tons of help for abused children but no help for children who abuse thier parents. I'm reporting a child (a teen) for elderly abuse of her mother but know she needs help herself. She needs guidance and somewhere to live once her mother is put into a facility. I'm at a loss.

If her mother is a senior citizen or handicapped they will be protected by senior services, try making a few phone calls. Elder abuse is common and as serious as child abuse when the strong healthy person has physical and perhaps financial control over someone who is dependent.
The elder or handicapped person may have to go to assisted living or something if the abuser is the caregiver.
If the mother is a young healthy adult she might need to put the child in fostercare.

If she is a teen ......child protective services will be involved.
If she (the teen) is abusing her mother they will get her into a place for help.
Good for you for getting involved.
