You and/or sister had best get down to FL to best determine Mom's condition/situation and state of mind. Consider her feelings re future living arrangements as much as practicable.

She should be located long-term near one or the other of you, her children. You will not want future problems, which there will be, coming as a complete surprise, if possible. Do your own research locally as to the best long-term living arrangements in your community. Proximity matters, both for you and for Mother.

Buy and pay for her funeral arrangements now, while she still has funds. This will help spend down her money.
