What Causes Severe Tiredness Along With Sleepiness In An Elderly Person?

I care for my grandmother, 89, who suffers with Dementia/Alzheimer s. She hasn t been up moving around, and just over this past week or so been sleeping a lot. She s not her feisty self. She s usually up fussing and raising Cain. Well, she s not looking good, and doesn t want to get up out of bed. She s having a hard time getting up going to the bathroom (bedside commode). I have told her I was taking her to the hospital to be looked at, because honestly she doesn t look well. Based on what I ve stated, should I follow my first mind and take her to the ER?
