I would strongly recommend you look into hospice care for your mom. I've recently started volunteering for a hospice organization here, and because they deal with folks who are in the last months of their lives, they are familiar with what happens when people are 'end stage.' I'm not saying your doctor is not aware, just that the hospice care folks (if there were any in her area) would probably be able to deal with the adult day care folks also.
Just a suggestion. Also, a palliative care physician could be of help for the same reason (tho they work with folks at all stages of illness).
I'm very sorry to hear all this is happening, and very delighted that your sister is doing such a great job!
Hang in there!
