Welcome to HCM.
Due to her age and if there is no any active illness than you can manage at your home under physicians guidance..take care about her diet(by ryles tube feeding),care for bed sores,care after passing of urine and stool,simple physiotherapy,.
we can not judge the suffering period without any reports..
