Suggest Treatment For Alzheimer S Disease Last Stage

My mom, an 85 year old end stage Alzheimers patient has a really red eye, with swollen tear duct and bruising on the bridge of her nose. She has an ocular implant in that eye, too. I just learned of the results of a urine culture indicating a uti with E. coli. Her doc is calling an Rx in for that, today, which I will be able to pick up tomorrow, when a caregiver comes here. My question is should I take her to an ER or urgent care to have her eye looked at, or should I see if the antibiotics to treat UTI clear it up. I can t transport her by myself, so whatever I do will have to wait until tomorrow.
