I work in home hospice and have seen many people like your mother. Try passive range of motion exercises that are within her limits to maintain joint flexibility and prevent sores. Get some mouth moistening swabs to keep her mouth clean. I like to dilute mouthwash with lots of water so there's a little freshness to the breath as well. I also put a&d cream on areas susceptible to diaper rash, like the inside of the thighs and butt. I've also seen wedges made out of foam to prop the patient up on their side for a while to relieve pressure from the back. This can also be done with pillows. Something I learned from the wife of my first patient that passed was that even though he had lost conciseness, he could still hear us. Even if your mother can't respond, talk to her. She will appreciate your company and wants to hear about trivial things like the fact that you need to get an oil change or the grocery store had 5 for $5 avocados today.
If at all possible, try to take her home with you and take her out of LTAC. She will be more comfortable and you'll have better peace of mind knowing exactly what her care plan is. The company I work for is perfect for people in your situation, so look into home care if you decide to bring her home. Sending love 💖
