My personal belief is that placement usually only helps the person who is doing the placement.
Sure seizures have the capability of causing damage, but it's not that common. Damage usually only happens when your seizures last a long time like in Status Epilepticus. It sounds, and of course, I don't know but perhaps she hasn't accepted her Epilepsy. I know it's not always easy to accept but those who do lead a much more rewarding, happier, and easier life than those who choose negativity, and depression and who feel sorry for themselves.
I wonder if your offer of helping her find a house and allowing her to live more independently would help.
Like @santosha mentioned I believe a psychologist or neuropsychologist may be very beneficial if she'd be open to such help. She needs to control her life and not let her Epilepsy control it.
Take care,
Jake
