It depends. You may be able to claim your sister as your qualifying relative. The following questions must be true:
Please review the TurboTax Help article Who can I claim as my dependent?
Maybe. Did she have less than $5050 of income not counting Social Security? Did you pay for over half her support?
IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

If she is a "qualified relative dependent" you can get the $500 credit for other dependents, and possibly Head of Household filing status.
Qualifying relative
Am I Head of Household?
If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
