Not sure of your mother's age or her possible other problems, but sounds like she is being a big baby. She has to want to get better. I suggest you tell her that you or your sister can no longer look after her and she must go to a long term care facility. I know the guilt will a problem, but she needs to understand she has to put forth some effort.
Tough love is hard but works.
