Hello. I just saw your query.
I think your mother has got dehydrated because of loose motions she suffered from.
Now you need to keep her hydrated not only with water but with her ORS or electral powder. Give her fresh fruits juice specially fruits rich in vitamin C.
Give her Cranberry juice.
Give her green vegetables to eat.
If possible giver her light massage on her arms and legs.
Any good multivitamins if you have.
Give her a glass full of warm milk at night time befire going to bed. Milk acts an mild sedative. It will help her in sleep.

I hope this information helps you.
