i saw your explanation, as per my opinion 1st thing you should do is check her blood pressure now on wards on a regular basis because for most stroke cases common cause is blood pressure,
next if blood pressure is fine within normal range then start physical therapy or physio therapy for her as early as possible for facial muscle and lower limb (legs) so that she can recover fast. rest don't worry usually speech and other things what you have explain becomes all right with time gradually but still for speech if you think its not improving do consult a speech therapist.
i hope this was useful for you. take care...
