8. If she's over 65 she should be on Medicare. Medicare pays for hospice care,

that is, all meds and supplies, a nurse 2x a week or as needed, an aide to bathe patient 2x /week, help from a social worker and a chaplain. The only thing it doesn’t cover is room and board, either at home, if there’s someone to help or in an in-patient hospice or a nursing home. That cost Medicare doesn’t cover. They will do their best to make her comfortable and ease her journey. Best wishes to her and you.
