No ... she must be a dependent to claim HOH and if the retirement is more than $4300 in box 1 you cannot claim her.

See publication 501.

You must claim your parent as a dependent, and to do that, they must have less than $4300 of taxable income (the 1099-R). You must also provide more than half their total financial support. (Non-taxable social security is not taxable income for the taxable income test, but it does count as support they provide themselves and must be included in the support test.)
