Some suggestions a Teddy Bear can often help or a baby doll, that she can cuddle. It is not belittling them if it makes her happy. Can you take in a radio/ tape deck so she can listen to her preferred music.
It is so hard when they can no longer walk as they are stuck waiting for people to say hello, chat a while. Photos may help.
Or leave a list of things she used to like doing.... dancing, gardening, cooking so staff know what to chat about.

Hi Linda....thanks for your kind words...we do all the things you suggested...sometimes it helps other times nothing brings a smile to her....ive told the doctors she's very depressed and have asked for anti depressants but she keeps getting poorly so they put it off...she is on my mind constantly..xx

Hi patty.
my heart goes out to both you and your Mum. I don't have any advice or can I help, but that doesn't stop me for feeling deeply for both your plights. it sounds you are being very kind to her and that means a lot.
Caitlin.
