What Tests Are Recommended For A Non-ambulatory Person?

My mom is 96 years old and is nonambulatory. She struggles to stay awake long enough to eat her lunch and dinner.She is awake and alert first thing in the morning and until 1 PM EST. After that, she just wants to sleep. What neurological tests would you suggest? All physiological tests have been in the normal range.
